Nah, you don't sound heartless. This is the truth. Who doesn't have a computer without internet success? Geez, even my grandmother(Bless her.) has a computer with internet access at home...

Heh heh, I'm thinking of Ceasar II (Yeah, 2. Not 3.) here, which is a spectacular game. I had to download some program which initiated a miniture ms-dos thingy or whatever, to get the game to work. Even then, the background music doesn't work. Ah well, I just play the music in my head.
