Dude! Neal's getting a Dell!

Ya the stuff that came with my dell wasn't too bad either, but there was plenty to get rid of, as i didn't have the option for them not installing ms works. also getting rid of all the 30 day trial ware, the damn av that came with it that was automatically deleting files on sight and making me super angry as I couldn't get it to stop.

Btw Neal before you start sticking on games I would suggest getting all your usual apps and other programs installed then do an image backup of the drive with what ever backup program you got. I know on my system games are going on and off it all the time and they can make a real mess after a while so i like to have a clean backup so I can just throw it on when things start chugging. I don't put any games as those vary too much, though I do semi regularly back up games save and config files.

As for DCS Black Shark, I would love to buy it but my money is staying in my pocket as long as it has starforce. After the tangled web of lies and crap from starforce I utterly refuse to support any product that contains it.

Anyhow here are some links to some of the lesser known games that i listed

Supreme Commander

X3 Games
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X3_Reunion
http://www.gamespot.com/pc/sim/x3reu...ry;read-review

I would point out that even though the reviews on x3 games tend to be medium high, egosoft is one of those companies that sticks by its games and patches the heck out of them over the years, this is also further supported by some very talented scripters and moders.

<blinks> hey wait a sec, Wolfenstein Neal is back
