Default Re: SEIV Gold

The whole CD is about 250 MB in size; you might consider that downloadable with DSL, but there has to be enough bandwidth on the hosts site for this to work, and I think that's where the "too big" issue is located.

250 megs per customer(!) generates a lot of traffic and will suck enormous amounts of bandwidth, which have to be paid.

On the other hand, UPS managed to deliver SEIV Gold to my place (Germany, Europe) within 3 days, for a rather mediocre 2,50 $ US shipping charge (at least this is what the bill says).

Then you had a special deal. I paid about 5x your amount for the shipping here to Switzerland.
But it was worth the money.

maybe you are right Q I should stop complaining and just pay the money! IF I get half as much enjoyment out of SEIV Gold as I did out of SEIV then it will be worth the price!

That's the spirit! Now go out there and subjugate an empires or two, you'll see that it's even more fun than before.
