MS DOS? Anyone remember Apple IIE? The Commodore 64? Programming in BASIC, "Hello World", backing things up on real cassette tapes, the innovation of the "hard" floppy, now THOSE were the days.
Well if you count non-Intel machines, the first personal computer I ever had was an Atari 400 (basically a crude game console with a keyboard tacked on and a few optional peripherals, including, yes, a cassette tape drive, and a version of BASIC hardwired into it.) I wasn't cool enough for a Commodore 64. :p I did use those and Apple IIE's in a class at school, though.

I had this old tandy thing, I won't call it a computer even though Radio Shack called it one.
It was like a keyboard that hooked up to the tv and I could write programs on but in order to back anything up, I had to use casstte tapes. So I got the hookups for my cassette recorder, supposedly that's all I needed and this tandy thing supposedly stored the data on tapes. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. I also had one game cartidge for it, some mud like game.. sigh..
I don't miss that thing..
But at the very least it was what helped me learn how to type.
Apple IIE was what I played Oregon's Trail on when I was in 5th grade I think.. I swore it was IIC, there was a IIC right?
Oregon's Trail.. that was one fine ass game...
Oh the topic.. hrmm..
I see why Securom 7 is an issue for sim addicts and not those who play Tomb Raiders newest release..
Anniversary uses an earlier version of 7, I don't believe the earlier version installed uaservice7.exe, if it did I'd have that on my system and I don't. I think the newer version came out around time bioshock did, and 2k went all out to try and prevent that game from being pirated.
So unless you lil addicts can really put maxis on the defensive, the next Sims expansion which is due out in Febuary will be hell since Securom most likely will step things up, I just have a bad feeling they're following in Starforces footsteps.
tabbs:
I don't think I have SecuRom on my computer. I ran the checks for it under the start--->run--> regedit and the other one suggested and didn't see anything for it, so does that mean I don't have it or could it mean that it is hiding? Does everyone have it that installed BV or is it just some folks? I just want to make sure I'm understanding this right.
Also sorry if that was a stupid question.
Deviancy:
If you downloaded Bon Voyage from a torrent site and followed the torrent instructions, chances are you don't have securom on your system. If you downloaded Bon Voyage from EA, I believe they use a different form of protection, but don't quote me on that. However, if you bought the game from the store and installed it, and played it from the cd.. you should have securom on your system.
I'm trying to create a faq about securom 7, how it affects the game.. and the newer securom 7.
I went over to a few other sims sites.. far to many are downloading the patch..
Not good..

You're also not letting the lurkers know that some hacks are patch specific such as inteeniator, which I bet will not work on the fairlight crack, at least properly..
Actually, (according to Jase) inteen doesn't need an update for this patch. As for the part about it not working properly with cracked executables can you show me a source? I can't find any sort of reference to that in the inteen documentation or anywhere on their site.
