I must try it out on my classical-music-snob associate, ask him if he can identify it:)
No need to check with him... the most common orchestrated version found on the Internet is from the Tokyo City Philharmonic Orchestra's Orchestral Game Concert series of CDs (I think CD 1).
Unfortunately... finding a legal copy of this is very hard... Soundtrack Central rates it as being "extinct."
I guess I can see how this would appeal to the many/. readers who are very pro-Open Source. To me, though, this has a distinctly different application than that of Open Source software. Sure, people have loads of hard drives and other random computers to go installing all their *BSD/Linux, but how many people have the ability to produce these chips? In addition, many, many people have at least some coding ability that can be used to contribute to the Open Source software projects, but do that many people really have the ability to recognize mistakes on the circuit boards and actually fix them?
I guess the problem for most people is that they don't really realize the difference between the connotations and denotations of words. In this case, we connect sale with a cheaper price due to all the advertising baraging we get across all the medias about the '20% off sale', or the 'Buy 1, Get 2 Free Sale', etc, instead of looking at what it truly means.
I guess this is just a case of "Say what you mean, not mean what you say..."
It was NOT uncommon for me to not realize that it was 1am and I had been playing for 4+ hours, even though I only meant to play for "a few minutes..."
Boy... those were the days. I never really got that good at the game (considering I wasn't too old at the time), but nothing ever was so addictive to me. Every now and then I have this sudden urge to dig out my old copy of the original Civ and re-install it. It brings back oh-so-many good memories of telling my parents "just a couple more turns... Honest!"

Just my two cents...
