      The story continues! I have a terrible graphics card, an S3 ProSavage. I go and buy an Nvididia GeForce 4 graphics card for 1oo bucks. Finally, I would get to play AoM, Madden 2003 would have no graphical errors, and Army Operations would work. Because my graphics card is an onboard and I didn't know what to do, I called Best Buy. They told me to go to the control panel and disable the old card, then to install the new one. I did that, and I started up the computer. The monitor screen was black. It didn't accept the new hardware! I can't take it out and start the computer up again, because I disabled the old graphics card. So I can't play computer at all (I'm on my parents old junky one) until I get the computer to the nearest Best Buy, in Washington. I have a learner's permit but it doesn't matter, for I'm 15, and you have to be 16 to drive a vehicle in Washington. So the only way I can get it fixed is to wait for my parents to take me to Best Buy (probably not for a couple of days). I can't go that long without a computer, and it's a waste of X-Mas break. On top of that, to get it fixed I'll have to pay like 40 bucks.
      "The first man who, having fenced off a plot of land, thought of saying, 'This is mine' and found people simple enough to believe him was the real founder of civil society. How many crimes, wars, murders, how many miseries and horrors might the human race had been spared by the one who, upon pulling up the stakes or filling in the ditch, had shouted to his fellow men: 'Beware of listening to this imposter; you are lost if you forget the fruits of the earth belong to all and that the earth belongs to no one." - Jean-Jacques Rousseau

        There should be another way to do that. I think I could do that, but I'm not sure how to explain it. Asher is good at explaining those things
