...you bring your knees in tight.

Then it's the pelvic thrust... till it drives you in sayayayayane.

AND THEN A STEP TO THE RIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!

That's one of the curious things about computers.... an old computer back in its day, it could do tons of stuff, even run a game like Total annihilation!

But try to get an old computer like that to work today with modern software and its just useless.

Find old software/operating system from that computers time and it runs great!

Conclusion is that modern software/operating system must be so overloaded with bullshxx i cannot imagine, so everyone needs fast computers to run it!
