BigFatGeneralSafeAtHQ Posted September 1, 2000 Share Posted September 1, 2000 Well, my little system hasn't arrived yet at the store and I can finally order CM today (mail-order - I don't have a credit card thanks to nasty creditors) so that'll take 3 or more weeks just to get here to Canada. And to top it all off I don't have a girlfriend so I can't pass the time waiting with wild passionate sex. Could life be anymore boring? ------------------ "What, me worry?" - Alfred E.

If so you could come on by for a hot seat battle. Or maybe better yet, have sex with my girlfriend so I can get some time to play CMBO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use this time to quickly find a girlfriend..Make sure you dump her after you get CM (cause she'll dump you.) ------------------ Land Soft--Kill Quiet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howardb Posted September 1, 2000 Share Posted September 1, 2000 Airborne: Why is it so important for Americans to be the dumper and not the dumped end result is always the same. Trigger happy I'll say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamski Posted September 1, 2000 Share Posted September 1, 2000 It's the American ego, pure ego. I also feel bad for you. All you can do now is just stare at screenshots and pout. (man,am I mean or what????) Patience has it's just reward, I'm also waiting for my copy to arrive...... -Ski ------------------ "The Lieutenant brought his map out and the old woman pointed to the coastal town of Ravenoville........"

GonzoAttacker Posted September 2, 2000 Share Posted September 2, 2000 Just Imagine, playing Sunday a heated PBEM game and during lag time of waiting for your next move..... sitting and watching an N.F.L Game on your Satellite Dish...sipping on your Favorite Beer...waiting for the good old sound from your computer....."You got Mail!".... so much time for your woman on that day! ------------------ "Victory smiles upon those who anticipate the changes in the character of war, not upon those who wait to adapt themselves after they occur."

If you don't hunt and don't mind the shedding they're the best dog you could have. They'll happily sit on your lap all night while you play CM and absolutely love you for it. Now as far as the girlfriend thing is concerned: a Colonel once told me "If it flys, floats, or fornicates, it's cheaper to rent."

I can't wait. At least I have CM to keep me occupied. I use the "incoming!" wav file as the sound effect for arriving e-mail.

Guest Captitalistdoginchina Posted January 5, 2001 Share Posted January 5, 2001 What a great idea - How can i set the "Incoming" wav file as my e-mail notification ? CDIC PS. Wild Passionate Sex ? I have heard that before...oh yes my wife was asking for that too, but i really need to finish those pbem files first, but by that time she is usually asleep ------------------ "Death solves all problems - no man no problem" J.V.Stalin, 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted January 5, 2001 Share Posted January 5, 2001 First you have to know in which directory your desired sound file is saved. Then go to the sounds properties in the Windows control panel. Scroll down the list a bit till you see "new mail notification" and click on it. Then browse to find the wav file you want and click on it. The name of that file should now appear as the file that will be played when you get a new e-mail. You can test the sound with the preview button. You can set any wav file on your computer to play as your e-mail notification. P.S. If you specifically want "Incoming!" to play as your e-mail notification you can copy the file off the Close Combat 1 disk, or you can use the CMBO wav file. I prefer the CC1 sound. I can e-mail it to you if you don't have it. [This message has been edited by Pvt. Ryan (edited 01-05-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
