I think a great deal is dependent on one's browser, too. I'm sure it runs
at a ripping speed on anything Chrome-derived. Mozilla, not so much, though
Firefox does handle it considerably better than Camino.
I've been running it in Seamonkey without any problems.

VIMperator_ (Iceweasel) run it just fine on a 900 MHz EEEPC 700
(actually running between 113 MHz and 450 MHz most of the time :-).

If you all get a bill for $352.25 from Google next month don't say

You all should be saving quarters and stuff for the Straight 8
that is up for sale.
Ben.
And I
can't play it again cause I have no idea where
insert the 25 cents.
Look where "I'm feeling lucky" usually sits :-)

if you send this message to all your friends, and cc:
cctalk at classiccmp.org, you'll get a check in the mail for $107.50 for
each email you send.
someone told me this doesn't work, but I figure what the heck? what can
it hurt? I've already got my check for $3977.50 for ten minutes work.

And the sand thing, is I think that kind of scam is legal on computers
in USA and Canada.
PS. For the other Doodle email, once you get your screen working,
demand your 25p back! Did you have arcades in the UK at the time
it was popular in the USA/Canada.

I found this slot of the front of my computer-thingy. It's about 9cm
wide, so it looked a little large for coils, but what the heck. Anyway, I
put in 25p (I figgred my computer is set up for England), but all I got
was a flash of light from the slot, follweed by smoke. And my screen went
dark.
Does anyone knowwhat do to now?

I'd throw it away, it's clearly not worth fixing. Probably too old. I
have an old AthlonXP 2800+ I can give you if you like. 1GB RAM, 2 x
20GB hard disks, basic 3D card. Skipware, in other words, nobody'd
want a computer this ancient... Why, it could barely run Windows 7!

You ran out of bits. Go to your friendly local computer dealer and
puchase a few kg. of the correct size of bits for your computer,
then carefully pour them into that slot.
Everything should then be fine. The automatic cup holder should even
operate correctly.

I'd rather play it on a PERQ, or the cat-and-mouse version on an HP80

Friendly and 'lcoal computer dealer' don't go together. Probably
something about the time I told them that I did not need to buy a new
<foo>, all I wanted was one little chip...

Can you recycle bits? I was ondering if I could empty some out of the
write-only-memory board used for /dev/null on one of my unix boxen.

If you haven't seen it yet, click the "insert coin" twice
for
two-player with ms. pacman, use WASD keys for 2nd player.
