I just Missed you Jimmy m sorry i wasnt there to talk to you i was eating
dinner ..what the Zone player didnt say is that it does kick you out with
certain settings and video cards ....and there are ppl still trying to make
it work)He was unaware apparently of the info i have with these other players
and there set ups his is not the same or he doesnt fully understand the
blinking situaton and the floating that goes on in the game onces its played
you can ask 2 of the sysops who have been playing it they can back me up on
this "Kayenta" and "Keepit Kleen" if you can kindly come back hehe i will be
here now or if not hopefully in the next few days thank you and once again
sorry i missed you in there im normally there logged on day in day out but of
