Hi, I've found HL2 (collector's edition, yes with the cookiebox) for one euro somewhere, but I don't have the hardware to play the game. Can anyone help me out with a desktop (I've got a screen) or laptop that would make me able to play the game? I only need it for a month or two. thx, Kenny -- ================================================================== Kenny Billiau Web Developer Tel:+32 (0)9 331 36 95 fax:+32 (0)9 3313809 VIB Department of Plant Systems Biology, Ghent University Technologiepark 927, 9052 Gent, BELGIUM kenny.billiau(a)ugent.be http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be ================================================================== "Never get out of the boat" -- Chef, APN
