Colonization

Sid Meiers has finally released an updated version of Colonization! In the early 90's this game was my all time favourite of the civilization genre games! I hated to give it up when I upgraded my OS to Windows XP, but it just didn't play properly. Now I hope to enjoy the addiction anew! I just read an article in Maximum PC Magazine reviewing the new game. The reviewer gave it an 8, but if it is anything like the original Colonization (and it sounds like it is) I'll give it a 10! Tomorrow I'll begin my search to find the game.

Our wonderful new laptops

Shortly after I installed Blogger Buddy, Lannie and I realized that we had overspent. So we had to hock our wonderful, brand new laptops until payday. We got them back last Friday (we got our pay early because of the holiday weekend). When I started to use my laptop after it being in hock, it began acting really flakey. I suspect that someone used my laptop while it was in hock. They are not supposed to do that but it is not the first time I've gotten something back acting strange or with a suddenly dead battery that had been full when it was taken in.

Anyway, we've got them back now and we have to make sure we don't overspend this month. I hate being poor!
