Reading that post where you're giving up in despair made me think of that line in "Das Boot"...
"Thomsen! Hey Thooomsen!...Poor bastard! So they pushed you out to sea again."
...probably not an exact quote but you get my meaning. lol
Now that you've been "pushed out to sea again"...
I'll gladly volunteer my "old reliable" system for helping you to test things, PT.
Just give me a chance to tear myself away from GWX long enough to figure out how to add an additonal clean install of SH3+GWX for testing purposes. I'm halfway through my eleventh patrol in my trusty VIIB.
I'm very happy to see you're going to stick with it and keep trying! Your mods are too good to let you get away that easily!
Your fans would probably form an angry mob and storm your house with torches and pitchforks anyways, if you quit. :p
