That was two decades ago.

and crap is crap is crap !

George, c'mon. In 1990, I was running Flight Simulator on a computer
(a 386, if I recall) with less power than a Palm Pilot has today.

Take a look at FS2004, on a good system. You will be absolutely blown
away.

It might be Jay but I was playing with a Bantam B22 (Microlight) back
then and the MSFS lost out.
I'm not knocking the 3 axis with all the bells and whistles just
flying the electrons doesn't do anything for me.

Twenty years ago. There was no Web twenty years ago; do you deny the
existence of the Web now?

Don't assume Web = Internet. World Wide Web existed 15 years
ago; The Internet has been around for nearly double, if not longer.

I haven't. That's why I said Web, not Internet.

So? I didn't say anything about the Internet.

WTF are you on?
I never mentioned the Net or the Web..
Bad example
I was a Co-sysop on Fidonet in 1986 running D'Bridge as Night Caller.
We ran until 1995 when the Net became available here..
You are playing a game
That is nothing like flying

I was illustrating the potential irrelevance of things twenty years ago as
compared to today.

I'm using a simulator; it's a lot like flying. I don't understand why that
upsets you so.
