OK - I'll admit it. I've been online since i used to dial up with my 286 - I might even have made connection with my old Comodore 128 - But i know the 64 didn't have a modem.
And yes i remember when bbs finally went to 14400 baud - more than 10 times faster than the old 1200.
All that to say this - stoopid me was there and was busy playing games while others made a living with their computers.
And now, even the game is beyond my skill level. I can write pretty good macros on the fly. I can even use scripts written by others.
But, in the real world, i can only be as good as i am capable of using somebody else's script. That puts me at a disadvantage in really competetive games.
So this old dog is looking for a good mentor to help me learn some new tricks.
Zentock, I appreciate your beginner classes and am studying them hard.
But i am looking for a mentor.

I have a bit too much on my plate to take on a mentor role, but I'm willing to help a few mins per day, to anyone really. Feel free to catch me on ICQ, and I can assess where you are at. ICQ: 160378089

I'll try to start getting a weekly TWX Q&A session going on Monday nights, probably around 9 PM EST, so stay tuned for that as well.

Now I know I've spent too much time looking at script code today. Your tag line translated into +'s instead of T's..... I need to take a break.

Heh, it's always been like that. Get it... improved haggling equals added cash, added exp, added advantages. I could have used a slogan with a lot of S's, and substituted $ for S, but that would be too common

G'z, I should probably post to that blog once in a while, sigh.
