They then don't tell us that they are running their program on a slow or overtaxed machine. I will use those other features but I am just enjoying getting my butt kicked and my skull crushed playing Junior 6a at 10 minutes per game. Oh, I hurts so good (well) for the purist. Tim Frohlick PS I drink one beer (no, not a 100,000 liter vat) a year whether I need it or not. I use wine for medicinal purposes only.
