[NTLUG:Discuss] TransGaming

[Jason DeWitt]

I am currently a subscriber. I ran into bigger problems with my system 
so I'm not currently using it. But before I had the problems I tried to 
get Warcraft 3 working. One thing I learned is you have to have the 
Microsoft CD rom extensions (Joliet?) stuff comilped into your kernel or 
you won't be able to read the copy protected cds right. Their support 
forum is very good, I posted another problem in the forums one weekend, 
when I got to work at 8 am that Monday I had a reply from one of their 
guys. I never got around to replying to him and then the other day I got 
an email from him asking if I got it figured out or what. The support is 
very good and worth the 5 bucks a month.
