you only have to look at how poor the simple scrolling banner scrrensaver works to realise that windows can't move graphics about smoothly, but apart from maybe playing frontier, payback and a few other classics that shouldn't really bother me,although I could in theory return the a1200 to it's stock config, apart ffrom maybe a hard drive controller and connect it to the pc tv card, that way i'd have the best of both worlds, and raise some cash selling my blizzard ppc and mediator etc. Hmm, but I do enjoy the idea of still using such and old machine on the web etc....
