I used to be on a dialup connection that guarenteed gave me 500+ for any
game. Very annoying, and everyone just keeps laughing and laughing at you
when they see you have 1/3rd of the kills they do. They stop laughing so
hard when they see your ping. They stop laughing completely when you
absolutely slaughter them at a LAN :) (but most unfortunately alot of
people also accused me of cheating)

That's just a little cheerup for everyone that has to put up with stuff like
that because of poor equipment/connections. Don't worry, optimistically,
we'll soon have the new generations of Amigas, which at the very least will
allow you to go to good LANs assuming you don't already with PC's.

Software suppliers are trying to make their software packages more
'user-friendly'.... Their best approach, so far, has been to take all
the old brochures, and stamp the words, 'user-friendly' on the cover.
