Ahhh, but aren't we all trapped at work?? I must say, I envy the people with indoor jobs...I'm forced to be out in the 30 degrees Celcius weather, surrounded by (of all things) glass, absolutely turns the tractor into a sauna.
Some advice, never EVER become a farmer or rancher. I'm not, but as the kid of one, I experience it all...

YEAH ME TOO!
Although for me being at work means sitting at home, alone, in the air conditioning, close reach to the fridge, easy walk to a bathroom I dont share (during work hours), playing games and occassionally peeking in here to see what you guys are posting. 
Did you know that Internet is fattening?

Just for fun, a view of what SE4 would have been like on a CGA enabled 80806 PC:

Re: OOT: Thread Overflow Depository (AKA: The Hija
CGA and EGA.... that brings back memories. I remember one time when I was in school, the best PC in the lab was something like a 286 and I think it had EGA and we thought it was so great because it was better than CGA. When we played games, we wanted to use the machines with the color monitors, because most of the other machines were IBM XT's with green monochrome monitors. Some of the games ran incredibly slowly on the XT's.
Also, some games, every time we wanted to play them we had to edit autoexec.bat and config.sys and change the files= and buffers= and stuff to make them run, and then after we finish playing the game, edit the configuration back. I remember it was a hassle and it was sometimes hard to get some games to work properly back then because they didn't fit in memory, or it barely fit or something, I forget the details... that was a long time ago.
