It's impossible now but it won't be later on. The MHz and GHz of processors
is very irrelevent to their speed, too. The Athlon XP 2200+(1.8GHz) is is
just as fast [if not faster] than the P4 2.4GHz.

There's not excessive fog, at least not that I have noticed. Nox has been
working wonderfully and I think it looks great. AWTeen has all the textures
AW has plus a bunch more. Nox doesn't annoy me, as I already said. Demeter
does have a lot of bugs and I think it needs a little fixing up. Maybe Brant
will give us a new version when he's got the time. ;-)

AWNews is too general to be considered against the law. They could simply
argue that they happened to buy that domain and would get by no problem.
Quit bitching about it, just move on and quit bugging them. It's only a
freaking domain anyway! It's your own damn fault for not renewing it in
time.

Well, if there's a law against squatting companies, I think it's stupid.
