I have a big meeting in fifteen minutes where I have to defend a whole platform against a roomful of people. I doubt the folks who write AOLserver will even show up, which will leave me all alone to defend it. I have papers and figures and drawings, and it probably won’t matter. They’ll make […]
Just when I post my Civ3 missive… they go and release a new patch that fixes some of my complaints!!! They fixed the railroad bug They added unit grouping (yes!) and lots of other fixes
I’m addicted to Civ3. I was addicted to Civ2 and still played it regularly until Civ3 came out. The game is addictive, and since I’ve been sick and alone in the house, I’ve played a lot. Civ3 is a great update of the previous game, but it’s missing a lot of the stuff that made […]

I am. And I’ve come up with a list of ways to tell if you are too. Can you use your gut as a portable table? You’d buy a sports car, but the thought of getting in and out of it deters you. Lose twenty pounds and no one even notices. You know what dunlap’s […]
