Hi, Boomers..

I made a thread about this 3 years ago, and I was amazed at some of your answers...

So I thought it fun to do it again since there are so many new Boomers that have joined the site.

You are waiting for that much anticipated game to arrive...You get it ,and load it up...Then a box pops up "The License Agreement" You can either click you agree or you don't agree...

Question:

How many would click I don't agree? After waiting ,and wanting to play a game so very badly.
I have to tell you..I have never ever click I don't agree..For fear my game would never install to play...

It just amazes me that the developer knows very well I think...That we all would "Agree"

If you choose "I don't Agree" the game will not install. This is the only way for the game makers to have a binding license agreement for the use of their software. :-)

Here's another question for you to ponder, Darleen: You choose Exit then Main Menu then Exit again. Then you get "Do you REALLY want to exit?" I, for one, feel like responding, "No! I was just joking with you!"

Cappy...Thats a good one also
I never thought about that one..

I know it is easy to slip up but I have thought the same many a time when in an hurry to turn the computor off .Why ask the same question 3 times I have been heard to mutter a few choice words when you dont want to pack in the game you just have other things to do . :rotflI have always pressed I agree.We don t have a lot of choice if we wish to play the game .....

I got this .js file, that makes shutting down easy.

Open Notepad and put this line into it:

(new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application")).ShutdownWindows();

and Save As Shutdown.js
(if it puts .txt after the js, then right click and rename to just shutdown.js)

Put the file on your harddrive somewhere and then make a Shortcut on the desktop.

Thanks Misslilo .We have quite a few clever bunnies on this Gameboomers .Looks like you have started some thing Daleen .It is a good thing as I guess there will be one or two others that will be glad of this little tip

Personally (and not just to be different, honestly) I like to have second chances before I quit. Sometimes I think of something just at the last minute and I like to be able to go back without having to restart the game. I have even been known to absent-mindedly click on QUIT when I meant START, but that's something else again!

Actually, this little ShutDown helper file doesn't shut down immidiately - you have to click one button, then it shuts down

I've put my shortcut on the QuciskStart bar - so it's just two clicks for me.

OK, I have a query :

How many of you actually READ everything you
'Agree' to?

I for one don't.

Yet, have always wondered if it was gonna come back
and bite me in the tukus some day

I don't either
Besides, most of those Agreements say almost the same, so if you've read one, you have read all.

If they put dancing purple cows somewhere in the text, I might read it.

Me neither my son always says read every thing dont just press I agree ...but what the heck I really cant be bothered to ....Then he says ..Yes then when it breaks down who do you call to fix it and hes right .Like tool bars ..I mean how many can you use at the same time

As everyone in the casual forum knows, I read them all and will not download or install if I do not agree.

Here's my $.02. Having worked in the legal field for quite awhile, the agreement is just to "cover their behinds." Need I say more?
