It does make CD changing a thing of the past. At one point I had 8 virtual CD drives running at once with all my different games. *waits for the flying squad raid on Tinster’s abode*

Or the decided lack of principle in this case - using an evil CD-check circumventing device so that the drive doesn't spin up and down each time I play - it makes a high pitched whine that's like dragging nails across a blackboard *shudder*. I've been playing with the CD in the drive for the past day or so. Looking at making an image on my hard disk with Alcohol or Daemon Tools, actually. I should be ok then. I've also gotten several dozen hits for those unfortunate keywords since I made mention of the magic no-cd and 1.19b words :( Won't be long before minions of Vivendi Entertainment come knocking on my door. *sigh* Yes, it’s just the principle of the thing, I suppose.
