Rang Sierra Games tech support people today for problems I’m having patching Tribes, typical extract from conversation:

Sierra: How long have you had the game
Me: About six years
Sierra: Do you still have the box?
Me: Yes
Sierra: Does it say whether it’s Windows XP compatible ..

!!

edit: note for non geeks.. Windows XP hadn’t been invented 2 years ago.. so how would a six year old box be able to comment on whether the product was compatible!
