Anyone bidding on Gordon’s Speedmaster?

I don't mean to sully this thread too much, but this might be interesting to fans of the Fallout video game and t.v. series franchise (not sure if there's much overlap in the Omega-NASA-Fallout Venn Diagram, though).

Clicking through the auction, I came to Lot #4050, the dollar bill signed by the Apollo 1 crew, Ed White, Gus Grissom, and Roger Chaffee, as well as backup pilot Rusty Schweickart and "one other unidentified signer," which looks to me like "Carl J. Bell." Naturally, I tried googling Carl Bell. Aside from a current NASA employee with that name, the only other thing I found was that there is a fictional character named Carl Bell in the "Fallout" video game series who died in flight after becoming the first person in space in the game's alternative timeline. I wonder if the game creators saw this bill and pondered who Carl Bell was.

Anyway... back to real life. Sorry for the diversion.

Well that's enough reason to stay on Win10 alone.

I installed FO3 on a W11 machine last week. Aside from a compatibility issue with an Intel GPU that I solved by changing a file, it's working fine. This was with the GOG version though, so I guess it has been adapted to work with a newer OS.

Well, it wouldn't be a Bethesda game without the bugs and the freezes 😁 FO3 and New Vegas are notorious for that. The first time I played it was on PS3, and once your save file reached a certain size, it was impossible to go to certain areas without the game dying. I guess the same can happen on PC.
