As some of you have seen, My computer is DOA... The ironic thing about it is that today, I am no longer a 56k warrior. That's right. I am now on a cable connection :D

Of course, I have no AGP slot in this system, so I can not play online. Too bad :( This connection is FAST!! I had no idea. I'm gonna download something to see just how fast!!!

Glad to hear you're in the fast lane now Jarg. So go here and then tell us all about it:

Those are some sweet numbers Jarg. Sucks the big box is down right now for you. I'd test too and post em but people are on the server and it will wreck their game if i do it. Glad you like it. You mentioned a patch. Do tell more.
