What should you enter into the poll if you have spent more than 99 quadrillion dollars? :P



The FS anonymous option!  :o   ;D ;D

I'm ShaneG, and I'm an FS addict....one day at a time. :-[

How much did I spend? I really don't know. I have a lot of payware but most of it I got for free (legally). My pc has been build over the years, updating an old one, I have a Saitek yoke and a X-52. So maybe a few hundred Euro.

Carlo ;)

How did I get payware for free? It's quite simple. I sometimes do little jobs for friends and family. Rebuilding a kitchen, fixing things and stuff. I don't want to be paid for that but they sometimes want to give me something in exchange. Since most of them know I'm a flightsim addict, they buy me stuff I like. Plus I have a loving and understanding wife who gives me some items for my birthday or Christmas.

Long before MSFS became a passion of mine, I set aside an imaginary $100 per month to keep myself in decent gaming hardware.. and heave always spent it, and then some..  ala over $4,000 (in 1985 dollars) for a 80386-based gaming monster (I think it ran at an earth-shattering 333Mghz).. the monitor alone was $1200.

Since my MSFS addiction (FS2000), hardware has gotten much less expensive..  but I've still managed to over-draw my imaginary account.. so .. $100/month X 10 years =   :-X

Prob  :-X  X 1.5 when you count payware, and design software..  ::)
