Re: Dominions 3 News!
 

I'm a gamer too, and I find that reasonably high end LCD works well enough, even for graphics intensive stuff like Morrowind / Oblivion and things like that. Might be different if I wanted to play twitch-type games like FPS's, but I don't.

And if I do - I have a ... 7 year old Nokia that is one of those high-quality CRTs that SC mentioned. Sadly, it's getting old and starting to fade. Hmm. 22" Philips on Newegg for $439 might be a nice upgrade. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif ( SC is right - not many CRTs listed there anymore at all, and hardly any 19+ inch ones. )

Aaaah, but you can't beat playing Galactic Civilizations 2 on 17XX*13XX http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
And besides, with the 150$ you save by going for a CRT, you can buy a better GPU/CPU/RAM so that you can use the monitor's superior skills (such as the ability to play games on 1600*1200 ^_^)

There's a third option. I use an RO/DI filter for my drinking water and my reef aquarium. Water as pure[er] than bottled water without the containers and transportation!

Re: Dominions 3 News!
 

I use a strychnine / plutonium filter for my water : kills anything living in the water, plus I love the way it glows when I'm boiling pasta. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Dominions 3 News!
 

Yeah, Cherry also mentioned that filtered water is the alternative referred to. I never even saw a commercial filter for drinking water so it didn't cross my mind: I do understand that filters are used in rural areas without waterpipes and even saw one operated in the army now that I think about it, but using it to filter tapwater on a regular basis is really not within my sphere of experience. Goes to show how small my world is! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif

Re: Dominions 3 News!
 

Yeh - here in the USA there's at least two major / common brands of water filters that supposedly removed 99.7% of the bacteria, lead, etc. Either by putting a filter on the faucet, or by filters in pitchers / water dispensers. That's what I use for all my drinking water because it improves the flavor greatly. Cooking, making tea & coffee I don't care as much - I mean, we all gotta die someday, and the doctors may still wind up deciding the lead and PCBs are good for us. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Um, can I ask an on-topic question?

Annette: can the pre-order system ship to FPO addresses?

Thanks,
