When I've moved, the PC is the last thing to get taken down, and the first thing to get set up. Beds? I'll sleep on the floor!

That is so funny, and the PC doesn't go in the moving van. That baby rides shotgun with me in the car. :)

I think it would be a nice option to treat small and large bubbles seperatly. That way you could have say 5-10 large bubbles, and 100-1000 small bubbles if you wanted.

Anything less than 500 as long as there aren't to many that high

The bug is fixed and I'll be posting the new version within a few days as long as I don't get any serious issue reports from twgs.classictw.com where it's now running.

I'm not changing bubble behavior at all, just fixing a bug that allows it to be less than the 100 sector minimum.

I have 3 desktops and 2 laptops in use here at the house, with 3 "retired" systems in my computer graveyard. But power supplies seem to be one of the most common things to go out, so I'm all out of scraps. But I bought a beautiful 500w unit from newegg, got it the other day, and the computer is back up and humming. Except it's humming VERY loudly because the ps drives my Tornado CPU fan too hard and it sounds like a vacuum cleaner. So I have a fan controller on the way.

Definitely, the computer(s) come with me when I move. It's a good thing, to, because when I was returning from Phoenix in 2003 after finishing work on the TW:DM project, the moving company took several of my valuable possessions and abandoned the truck on the side of the road. That would have been it for my TW code, as I only had the one system back then, and no hard backup. My biggest nightmare is that someone will break in and steal my computers.

My luck they'd eat my hard drives.

I think a lot of my fear stems from when I was in college and lived in a single rented room in a house just off campus (rent was $80!). Even back then, so much of my work was on the computer. But there was no security in that room. Anyone could get in with very little effort. One summer, I returned from several weeks at home and the door was ajar. Someone had stolen my bowling ball, bag and shoes (custom made) and all of my high school yearbooks. Thankfully I had my computer with me! Later that year, after my neighbor moved out, the new tenant said she'd found a box of yearbooks with my name on them in the closet. I never recovered my bowling gear :( Crazy stuff. Trust no one!

I don't think I could have fit dobermans in that tiny room, but the mice were pretty vicious.
