[AccessD] A rare experience

[John Colby]

Understand I never said that the various Windows programs I use never 
crashed.  What I said was that THIS specific program, the game Empire, 
had never crashed until the other day.  That is just an extraordinary 
feat IMHO.  I have played it since the late 80s.
