Now her poor husband is probably being nagged to death for a new computer upgrade

I agree with my new computer I find it loads very fast. I haven't had anything drag at all and I have a lot of animals on my farm.

LOL - sorry, but you can't possibly be addicted enough When we started we had no raspberries and couldn't be hired to plow, so we grew grapes by the thousand. My friend and I would sit up very late, plant our grapes, then leap out of bed before the total of 8 hours were up and run to harvest our grapes before they died, and before starting work. In the big scheme of things, breakfast and morning showers came a poor second and third to harvesting our grapes

Hi
You rock farm town. You are the only game I have spent real money on, it keeps getting better and better, you will though need to keep adding more levels and also more farms or expansions on farms might be a better option for more room. thanks guys for listening to everybody's suggestions..

Nope, I think it would probably only take Farm Cash as a possible way to rescue us from our hopeless addiction

[amanda1955]

this is the only farm game that actually behaves like a proper farm... should know come from one, it is my way of dealing with the withdrawel symtoms...lol....but oh so much easier than a real farm...why love it so much

Although I still get a little persnickety threat to shut down IE8 and a message to uninstall Flash Plasher and reinstall (which I've already done), I haven't gotten NEARLY the annoying freezing and crashing that I used to get since Comcast switched from McAfee to Norton as their Security provider. I would NEVER want to be hired by anyone because I would always freeze and lock up (especially in large screen). There could be other programs conflicting...NOT saying McAfee did, but I noticed a huge improvement in the way FarmTown behaved after I got rid of it.

Good stewardship. And they cant "drink" virtual wine -- so what is the problem??? This complaint is a bit of a stretch I think -- desperate for something to complain about, are we????

I would be more concerned that kids know what to do when they go to the store with you and you go down the "wine and spirits" aisle. Do you blindfold them?????

Actually I wasn't complaining, just wondering if some might think it inappropriate. Personally, I don't think so, but, in some areas some people are overly (overly in my opinion) sensitive about such things. Glad to see, from comments here, that we're a pretty open-minded group

Apparently the case since I have had no loading problems with my Macbook Pro. Everything loads quite quickly, my farms and others I've worked at or visited. Have never tried playing FT on my older iBook G4, but imagine it would be noticeably slower since other graphics intensive aps are..
