SH III on a laptop

I have been loath to try it. Starforce killed the cd writer on my desktop; or to be fair, Starforce prevents me from writing cds or dvds as long as it is installed. I don't believe there was any physical damage, and if I stopped playing SHIII and cleaned my registry, I could probably get my cd/dvd writing functionality back. However since the damage was already done, I had already paid for SHIII and I have a laptop with a better cd/dvd writer anyway, I decided to keep SHIII (one of my top three games/sims of all time) on my desktop and never let starforce near my new Sierra Hotel laptop. The laptop is my bread and butter. I travel for a living and despirately want to put SHIII on the laptop, even if it plays slowly. I'm on the road 200 days a year with lots of downtime that could be filled with uboat patrols. I just can't risk having starforce render my laptop fubar.

Sarge, where in the southern hemisphere? I ask because I live on the road and have been many places. My primary conversational tactic is to ask "where are you from?" Chances are if it is in the northern hemisphere, excluding Russia, China other than the coast, or northern Europe, I have been close. But my only ventures south of the line were 6 trips to Jakarta. Where are you going, what are you going to be doing?
