Sounds like gaming would have been the way to go, I'll try that one next.

I had never used any type of telnet before and I am glad it wasn't difficult or time consuming.

Most computers such as Windows PCs have a Telnet program built-in." Which in essense, is saying that Telnet is just another computer communication tool, that of course, could prove very useful. I tried Telnet out at Materia Magica (who am I to turn down a game!?) at http://www.materiamagica.com/. It proved to be an interesting experience, very much different than the typical gaming situations that I am used to, however, I had fun. Unfortunately, my computer was not too fond of the game and kept freezing on me, so I was only able to play in level 1. :( "Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday." --Don Marquis Elizabeth Woodard - bjw1585@xxxxxxxxx --------------------------------- Sponsored Link $200,000 mortgage for $660/mo - 30/15 yr fixed, reduce debt, home equity - Click now for info --------------------------------- Sponsored Link Rates near 39yr lows. $420,000 Loan for $1399/mo - Calculate new house payment "Wisdom begins in wonder." - Socrates (469-399BC) Greek Philosopher of Athens" Cheryl Heuer Cheryl_Heuer@xxxxxxxxx --------------------------------- Sponsored Link Want a degree but can't afford to quit?
