If only I could beat the Novice on my computer game, I would use your board to play with a real person as well. I'd e-mail this but my telnetting newserver won't let me. (Sigh --it's over 24 hours since they "improved" the e-mail service.) NOTE: If you hit the reply button, add an "e" to the "freent"; its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers. -- / / / _,,/ / + / llizard aka ejm Check & /_._/___/_"-=\~_/__()__ cq5...@freenet.toronto.on.ca Guardez! / () / )( / )( / / / /___)(__/___//__\___/)(_/___/___/ / /)( / / / //__\ / / ejm97 /___//__\___/___/___/___/___/___/ http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Studios/9334/
