Introduction ------------------ -- About the Game -- Monty Python's The Meaning of Life is the third (and apparently final) Monty Python game from 7th Level. Following the "Complete Waste of Time" and "Holy Grail", the Meaning of Life takes you on a journey based on the 1983 film of the same name, through each of the stages of life represented in the film. Then it gets weird. The game was developed by 7th Level, who merged with Pulse Entertainment on November 17, 1997, to create P7 Solutions. Panasonic Interactive Media bought the rights to distribute the game (as well as the two previous titles), and are "in charge" of the game, its support, and its distribution. Personally, I think it's a wonderful game, despite the glitches. It's the first of the three games to actually make me laugh out loud for several mintues, leaving me barely able to click on the next item at times. Good puzzles, good design, good video-clip selection, and horrible bugs. -- About the FAQ/Walkthrough -- Well, I think I've uncovered every nook and cranny in this game... Full walkthrough, hints, 25 cheat codes, corrected mine map, info on going to almost every area of the game, how to add any inventory item... Whew! If you find anything I've missed, please let me know about it! The only things missing from this FAQ are probably a Cottage Story Guide (how to follow all of the stories through to the end), explanations for two cheat codes, and the identity of Larry and the two people shown in the credits. So, there will probably be at least two more revisions to this guide. One with final fixes/error corrections and a Story Guide, and one to announce the relase of a patch (hint, hint). So, feel free to contribute as you wish! II. FAQ History ----------------- Version 2.2 Added cheats for the DOOM level Added code explanations Fixed a few minor typos Version 2.1 Fixed Organ Donor code (whoops!)

Walkthrough up to the cottage III. Known Bugs and Problems ----------------------------- Yes, it's true that the version of Monty Python's The Meaning of Life that currently being sold in stores cannot be completed normally. There is a fatal bug in the next-to-last scene game that will prevent users from getting to the final scene. Luckily, there are a couple of workarounds that allow you to continue. Unfortunately, that's not the only bug. If you experience strange problems (items not working correctly, the screen goes blank), you should probably contact Panasonic technical support (7th Level no longer provides phone technical support for games). Panasonic Technical Support: Voice: (425) 889-7095 Fax: (425) 828-8715 E-Mail: tech@pimcom.com WWW: http://www.pimcom.com Panasonic has confirmed the existence of two major bugs (the "X"/Shovel and Attic Entrance), and has agreed with the workarounds listed below. They have not confirmed that they are working on a patch, or indeed whether or not one will be released. However, PIM's technical support is collecting the addresses of everyone who writes their e-mail address, and will announce when/if a patch is released. PROBLEM: Game was playing fine, but suddenly there's no sound. CTRL+ and - keys don't do anything. SOLUTION: This is an undocumented feature. The asterisk (*) key on the number keypad disables/enables the sound. Just hit the key a second time to restore the sound. PROBLEM: In the cottage, I'm listening to the Potato's speech that begins with "Excuse me for a moment while I check with my liver...". When he's done speaking, he disappears, but the cursor doesn't come back! SOLUTION: This is a minor glitch. Just press your space bar to restore your cursor and continue with the game. PROBLEM: In the cottage, in the beach area, I can't use the shovel on the "X". PROBLEM: In the cottage, in the beach area, I used the shovel on the "X" and dug a hole, but I can't go into the hole! SOLUTION: This is a fatal bug. Once this has happened, you will not be able to complete the game. You must restore the game from a point before you entered the beach area, or use WorkAround 2 below. WORKAROUND 1: Do *NOT* enter the beach area until you have both the Shovel and Mr. Blowhard. Once you enter the beach area, do *NOT* save your game until you have retrieved the two items required from this area. WORKAROUND 2: Use the Event Manager to add the missing items to your inventory. (See Section IX) PROBLEM: When I go into the "Dental" area, the screen is black! SOLUTION: This isn't a bug; it's part of the game. Continuing requires using an item. PROBLEM: In the attic, I get to a screen with a ladder going up, and when I click on it, the screen goes black! SOLUTION: This is a major bug, stemming from the fact that the next scene of the game resides on Disc One, and the pop-up window to tell you to switch discs is invisible. WORKAROUND 1: Before clicking on the door, switch to Disc 1. Once you have switched discs and given the system enough time to recognise the new disc, click on the door. You should then receive a "blue-screen" error message asking you to re-insert Disc 2. Press ESC, and you will be returned to the door, and your cursor will have disappeared. Press the Space Bar to continue to the next scene. WORKAROUND 2 (Thanks to BettyCat): Once you get the black screen, switch discs. Press the ALT-TAB keys to bring up the Windows task switcher, and switch to another application. Or, press the "Windows" key to bring up the Start Menu. Either method will being the cursor back to the screen. Once the cursor is visible, click on a spot approximately 1/4 of the screen from the bottom and centered left/right to get to the next screen. If you miss, switch applications again and try again. You're trying to click on the "OK" for the "Insert Disc One" notification box, but it's invisible. You may wish to mark the spot earlier to make it easier. WORKAROUND 3: Cheat using the debug code. See Section IX. IV. General Information ------------------------- --Questions between screens What's with the questions between the screens? Well, it really doesn't matter what you answer as far as gameplay goes. The answers do eventually get used at the endgame, but it won't affect your playing of the game at all. There are a set number of questions (I haven't counted them up yet), and when you're done answering them, an "Intermission" screen will be shown instead between scenes. --Shortcuts Press space to skip non-interactive screens Press space to interrupt dialog or animations V. Video Clip Information ---------------------------- As with the other games, this one is full of video clips. The walkthrough below explains exactly how to find all of the clips in the course of the game, but you can also view them outside of the game. Video clips are stored in the \clips directory on each disc. They are Smacker video clips, and you can download the Smacker Video Tools to play them at: http://www.radgametools.com/smack.htm The clips are listed below by disc in the order in which you'll find them while playing the game (using the walkthrough). 12 clips on the second disc Clip 1 - "Movie Intro" - mix_ae.smk Clip 2 - "Every Sperm is Sacred" - mix_ag.smk Clip 3 - "Naked Women" - mix_aw.smk Clip 4 - "War Presents" - mix_ai.smk Clip 5 - "War Presents" - mix_aj.smk Clip 6 - "War Presents" - mix_ak.smk Clip 7 - "War Presents" - mix_al.smk Clip 8 - "Galaxy Song" - mix_ap.smk Clip 9 - "World's Fattest Man" - mix_ar.smk Clip 10 - "World's Fattest Man Explodes" - mix_as.smk Clip 11 - "Cleaning Woman" - mix_at.smk Clip 12 - "The Adventures of Martin Luther" - mix_ca.smk 15 clips on the second disc Clip 1 - "Self-Defense" - mix_bm.smk Clip 2 - "Self-Defense" - mix_bn.smk Clip 3 - "Crimson Permanent Intro" - mix_aa.smk Clip 4 - "Crimson Permanent Revolt" - mix_ab.smk Clip 5 - "Crimson Attacks the VBCA" - mix_ac.smk Clip 6 - "Funniest Joke" - mix_bf.smk Clip 7 - "Funniest Joke" - mix_bg.smk Clip 8 - "Funniest Joke" - mix_bh.smk Clip 9 - "The Bishop" - mix_bj.smk Clip 10 - "The Bishop" - mix_bi.smk Clip 11 - "The Bishop" - mix_bk.smk Clip 12 - "The Bishop" - mix_bl.smk Clip 13 - "Board Meeting" - mix_aq.smk Clip 14 - "Christmas in Heaven" - mix_ay.smk Clip 15 - "Death of Arthur Jarrett" - mix_av.smk VI. Act I: The Stages of Life ------------------------------- A. Act I Common Sticking Points -------------------------------- In Act I, the first six stages may be played in any order, but the last (Death) cannot be completed until the first six are finished. *** Live Organ Transplants *** -- How do I get past the operation section? -- Everybody seems to have problems on this one. I found that the following method to work for me every time: Use the chainsaw. To begin, position the saw right over the dash and press AND HOLD the mouse button. With the button held down, trace the pattern as it appears as quickly as you can. If you stray, move back to the path quickly. You only kill the patient when you stray from the correct path for more than about 2 seconds. From an anonymous source: "This game gets easier the more times you screw up. So if someone is having a real hard time with it they should just keep slaughtering the patient. Also using space to abort through the "you screwed up" linears would speed things up." Of course, you could always cheat (see Section IX)... *** The Autumn Years *** -- What's with the dishes? -- The puzzle here is just a balancing puzzle. You must keep as even as possible a weight on either side of the center dish. It's not as easy as that, though, as the dishes are weighted. You can tell the weight of each dish by the symbol on it: Triangle - 1 Square - 2 Circle - 3 Rectangle - 4 You can only have the dishes off-balance by 2 in either direction. This means that in order to remove a Circle dish, the dishes must be at least slightly tilting in the same direction, and for a Rectangle the dishes must be tilted even further in the same direction. Keep a running tally of how the dishes are weighted (-2 -1 0 1 2), and you should be just fine. Of course, you could always cheat (see Section IX)... *** Death *** -- How do you get into the house? -- Well, you've got to get Death to go there. To do that, just click on all of the statues, the mausoleum, the tree (twice), the sky to the upper left of the barn (twice), and then click Death three times. If he's not moving on the third click, make sure you've clicked everything again. -- How do you solve the cabinet puzzle? -- Well, if you don't have all six items (meaning you've solved the other six sections of Act I), nothing. All six items are required to continue. If you do have all six, just put each item in the bowl. No mixers, just straight in the bowl. That's it! You've won the game! Just kidding. You've just started. B. Act I Walkthrough --------------------- Optional sections of the walkthrough are denoted with a ">" - these bits are not required to finish the game, but they do let you see all of the video clips, as well as a few extra bits. *** Introduction *** Clip 1 - "Movie Intro" Disclaimer (UD) Scroll down to bottom Select any of the first four answers (answer 5 exits the game) *** Birth *** Wheel of Life Click Birth (if not already selected) Click pull-chain Delivery Room (LR) Click nurse (brings in equipment) Click patient's arm (she's hiding behind the first large white machine to your right) Click patient's arm Click nurse Click all machines to turn them on (11 total), administrator appears Click patient Click patient Click patient (baby is born) Get penny Click patient (another baby) Exit broken window Third World (LR) > Exit door on right House of 1,000 Children (LR) > Click Man > Click Man - Song Begins - Clip 2 - "Every Sperm is Sacred" > Click door (to the right and above man) > Exit door Third World (LR) Use penny on Harry's sign Get condom Click on man in window (on left of street) Exit window Protestant House Use condom on woman Get cream ** Growth & Learning ** Wheel of Life Click Growth & Learning (if not already selected) Click pull-chain Chapel (LR) > Click picture on left (above men in red) Picture > Click on picture - Clip 3 - "Naked Women" > Exit back Chapel (LR) Exit doorway on left Classroom (LR) Click door (teacher arrives) Click teacher Click student (the one raising his hand) Click teacher Click student (with Get cursor, Eric Idle) Click girl in window Exit "You Don't Know" on blackboard You Don't Know John Answer six questions, then play Final John (How many correct are required to win?)

Act II: The Goals of Life ------------------------------- A. Act II Common Sticking Points --------------------------------- In Act II, the first two stages may be played in any order, but you will need to complete "Spiritual" before completing "Material. The last (Dentistry) cannot be completed until the first two are finished. *** Material World *** -- What do I do with the VBCA? -- On the farm, you need to start a war by first clicking on the woman (she's hiding on the ground below the cow), and then clicking on the animals and various scenery until they quit talking and start preparing for war. Once that happens, click on the tractor. You'll then have a place for the VBCA. -- I'm lost in the mine! How do I get out? -- Try following the map below, or cheat (See Section IX) for other ways to get out. -- What do I give the guard? -- You can't solve the Material world without solving the Spiritual World, and vice versa. Once you've found the guard, head to the Spiritual World. *** Spiritual World *** -- How do I find the Bishop? -- To discover the Bishop, click the floor of the building in New Age World. There are three areas in the Spiritual World where the Bishop appears once he's been discovered, and you can spot them beforehand by the theme music. He may go to the areas randomly - you may have to visit each area more than once before you actually get the item you need. The areas are: Religions of the World - Catholic Church - Back of church Buddha World - Water right around waiter's feet Hell - window of the wedding chapel There are three video clips once you've found the first once, making four total. After the last one, you'll get an item. -- What's with the Buried Statues area? -- It's a meditation garden. Meditate. Walk away from the computer, get yourself a drink. You have to wait several minutes and not take the first item offered to get what you really need. -- How do I survive the "Doom" level? -- You'll need the Flak Jacket (give Ghandi what he wants most) and the Sword (which you'll find after you find the Bishop). Just be fast, and shoot to kill. It may take you a few times to pass it, but don't be too discouraged! I just move from left to right, shoot the first person I see until they explode, then immediately move on to the right to the next one. It is possible, trust me! -- No, really, I can't do it! How do I get past the level? -- There isn't an easy way to do it, and the level doesn't get any easier no matter how many times you get killed. If you're completely stumped, you can always cheat (See Section IX). -- What do I give the guru? -- If you haven't placated the guard in Material world yet, return there and try to change his feelings towards you. Once puzzle solves the other. *** Dental World *** -- It's pitch black! What's going on? -- You can't do anything here until you've completed the Material world. Once you are properly Enlightened, you should do the same to the Dental world. A.

When you encounter a monster, use the corresponding joke on the monster to clear the way. Hints on Finding your way: There are two ways to find your way through the caves: 1) Take special note of the walls, and keep the directions in mind. North - A flat wall, nothing of note. East - A sunken wall, here you can move the cursor up. South - Wall with a raised area in the middle. Rocks blown up here usually contain a set of initials. West - A sunken wall, here you can move the cursor down. 2) Cheat (see section IX) Additionally, there are 11 Treasures randomly scattered throughout the mine: Tea Tray, Stamp, Jewels, Uranium, Ark of the Covenant, Fur Coat, Caviar, Sunflowers, Car, Gold Ingots, and a Pearl. But, Denis Moore will just come and take them all anyway when you try to leave, so it's best to just ignore the Mine Cart and all of the treasures, and use the treasures as guideposts (with the above map) to find where you are. They're random, so mark where you see the treasures on the map. Palace Grounds (LR) You made it! But there's nothing more to do here right now...

Act III: The Cottage of Life ---------------------------------- A. Act III Common Sticking Points --------------------------------- -- What's the password? -- Ths password can be found by carefully noting the names of the two computers, listening to the story given by the mask, and watching a video... -- How do I make the salmon mousse? -- Follow the recipe! It's pretty easy, well, once you realize what the six machines are! 1 - Heater 2 - Chopper (use twice for FINELY chopped items) 3 - Whipper 4 - Can Opener (AHA!) 5 - Chiller 6 - Mixer -- How do I play the organ? -- The Concerto and the Poem need to be placed on the organ (they're both in the computer room), and the key guide is on the bookshelf. -- The mouse hates all the cheese! What can I do? -- Pesky little bugger, isn't he? He won't run the wheel, no matter what you do. You need some thing different. Try recording and then playing the correct tune on the organ first, and then check the window to the left of the screen. -- I can't use the shovel on the "X"! What gives? -- See section III. -- What's with the sliding puzzle? It doesn't do anything! -- That's because it's not a sliding puzzle. It just looks like one. Hints for what to do with it can be found in a book on the desk behind you, and on the Shaka computer. -- What's wrong with the parrot? -- He's insane. He mixes up the notes you play to him on the Rose and Weight scales. One of them he transposes, and the other he mirrors. Just record the keys so he'll error in your favor. -- How do I get rid of Big Labour? -- Once you teach the parrot to speak correctly, you'll need to place him on the perch in the back room. Click on him to have him speak, and if you got it right, you'll hear a chord. If you exit, you'll hear a higher chords (the same one you hear when you see Big Labour). Enter, the low chords. Exit, the higher chords. You've got to shut the parrot up so he won't speak a second time. -- How can I shut the parrot up? -- Beat him to death. Fun, isn't it? Just be sure to do it after he speaks an odd number of times. -- Where's the cheese? -- There are eight pieces of cheese in total, seven of them in random locations. The Gouda is always found indide of Timmy the Computer, and the possible locations for the remaining pieces are as follows: Computer Area, on rug beneath Shaka Computer Area, on floor beneath Statue Computer Area, on top of Shaka's scanner. Computer Area, above the entry door (left of the elephant picture) Middle of Cottage, on the rug in the Computer Area Middle of Cottage, on the couch Middle of Cottage, on the dresser to the left of the doors TV Area, beneath the three masks TV Area, in the urinal doll TV Area, next to the Crimson Permanent Bookshelf Area, Beneath the urinal doll Bookshelf Area, Above the white mask Bookshelf Area, on the shelf Bookshelf Area, On the radiator Bookshelf Area, On the pile of CD's (below and to the left of the mouth) If you've found cheese in a different location, let me know! -- The hand in the sofa keeps disappearing! -- Just click on it again. Everything you stacked on it will return. -- The screen just went blank! -- See section III. B. Act III Walkthrough ---------------------- *** The Cottage *** IMPORTANT NOTE: Save your game here at the beginning, and keep a saved game here! There is a fatal bug in the Cottage that may prevent you from progressing in the game in some situations. NOTE: There are 8 pieces of cheese in the cottage, and seven of them are located randomly in open areas throughout the Computer Area, TV Area, Middle, and Bookshelf Area. You need to collect the cheese as you run into it over the course of this area. If you can't find all seven by the end of the section, see "Where's the cheese?" above.

Codes and How to Use Them ------------------------------- -- The Codes -- Yes, there are codes! After reading through the resource files with a Hex Editor, I am now proud to present the following... ** Global Codes ** These codes should be typed in to the keyboard, presumably at any point in the game where you have a cursor to control. REPEATEDDEVASTATION This is the debug code, which brings up the game's event viewer. This lets you change scenes, add inventory items (even a few that aren't in the game), and generally muck about. Of course, typing in invalid entries can cause the game to crash (the CurrentBinName and CurrentViewScript in particular), but feel free to explore otherwise! NOWCOMEONITSFUNNYRIGHT This makes the cursor point with a different finger. You guess which one. >From an anonymous source: "There is a story behind this one and I am telling this story because everyone on the team secretly wants the world to know about it. Our producer's name was David Feldsetin, of course that appears in the credits, but this quote is from him. Needless to say he was a thorn in the programmers side, especially during the final days of the project. We would always question some of the humor in the game, and some of it we just didn't get. Yet every time he would come up with a new idea or we would question his humor he would say, "Now come on, it's funny right?" It's really a shame we didn't put in a wave file." THEREARENOMORALSATALL This code skips over all of the "Moral Dilemma" questions (they're all automatically answered with the first answer for each question). >From the same source: "I actually added this one near the end of the project. All it does is answer all of the Moral Delima questions. So if you type it at the beginning of a new game you won't have to answer any of those questions. It was left in for the programmers and QA who might want to play the retail version. This was one of those things none of us found funny, well no one except David." **Location Codes** These codes can only be typed in at specific locations in the game. IMNODOCTOR Location: Act I, Live Organ Transplants, Live Organ Transplants Type in the code to automatically complete a slit. Once you've selected a tool, type in the code and you'll be done with that round. ICANTLOOSE Location: Act I, Live Organ Transplants, Live Organ Transplants Type in the code and it will be almost impossible to kill the patient, no matter how bad you are. (Note: This is I can't "loose" not "lose". IWANTTOWIN Location: Act I, Autumn Years, Restaurant Type in the code to automatically win the stacked dish game. ILOVETOCOOK Location: Act I, Death, House, Cabinet Type in the code to automatically get all six items needed to complete the game. IHATETOCOOK Location: Act I, Death, House, Cabinet Type in the code, and you'll get taunted as if you made a mistake with the items. Hmmm... GIMMESTUFF Location: Act II, Material, Level 1 Type in the code to receive the Pantomime Horse and the Encyclopedia Salesman. GIMMESTUFF Location: Act II, Material, Nature Preserve Type in the code to receive the Chainsaw, Victrola, Raspberry, Friar, 20 Insurance Buildings, and 51% VBCA stock. LOBSTERGIRL Location: Act II, Material, Heaven, "SEX SEX SEX" After (or while) being chided for being a goat lover, type in the code to hear Lobster Girl! LARRYPREFERSSHEEP Location: Act II, Material, Heaven, "SEX SEX SEX" Type in the code to hear, well, I'll let you listen for yourself. Not for the tenderhearted. I wonder who Larry is... COMPASS Location: Act II, Material, Mine Type in this code to display... a compass! NOCOMPASS Location: Act II, Material, Mine Type in this code to remove the compass. LETSGOHUNTING Location: Act II, Material, Mine Type in this code to equip yourself with all four Funniest Jokes. CRYPTWEAPONS Location: Act II, Spiritual, Doom Type in the code to get the Sword of Righteousness CRYPTSHIELDS Location: Act II, Spiritual, Doom Type in the code to get the Kevlar Vest of Faith CRYPTRESET Location: Act II, Spiritual, Doom This resets the Doom level without looking down and pressing the button. Of course, resetting seems to make the level harder, as the fanatics start firing at an amazingly fast rate. CRYPTCOOKIES Location: Act II, Spiritual, Doom This code doesn't appear to do a thing. From the sound of it, I'd guess that it's _supposed_ to increase your hit points. Doesn't work, and it doesn't seem to affect anything else either. If you can find out anything about this one, let me know. GIMMESTUFF Location: Act II, Spiritual World, Path of Enlightenment Type in the code to receive the Cattleprod, Helping Hands, Sledgehammer, and Rubber Hose. CHEESYWEAPONS Location: Act III, Cottage, Computer Area Type in this code to receive all eight pieces of cheese and the Serving Platter. CHEESYWEAPONS Location: Act III, Cottage, Meaning of Life Demo Type in this code to solve the puzzle and receive the Peanut. ALPHA Location: Ending Credits Type in this code to see somebody's baby. OMEGA Location: Ending Credits Type in this code remove the picture of somebody's baby. ROBBIETREK Location: Ending Credits Type in this code to see a picture of someone else, along with a Star Trek picture. Once typed in, you can't get rid of this picture. If you find any more codes (although I think that this is it), let me know! -- Using the Event Manager -- If you've ever used a Windows registry editor before, you should feel right at home here. If not, well, you can figure it out. Just use the left window to explore the various nodes, and double-click values in the right window to change them. If you can find more tricks with the Event Manager, feel free to pass them along. I'd be glad to add them! ** Getting from place to place To get to any location in the game: 1) Bring up the Event Manager 2) Under "SYSVAR" edit the "CurrentBinScript" and "CurrentViewScript" variables to get to the desired location. 3) Save your game before you do anything else. 4) Restore that saved game. You should be in the new location! Note: This list isn't comprehensive, but it does allow access to all major areas of the game. If you want to send me more locations, I'd be glad to add them in. Another Note: Going to locations you're not supposed to be in can cause problems, especially if you haven't triggered the correct event or picked up the right inventory item. Use at your own risk.

Change it to the number you noted under "INTEGER 2" for the item. To remove an item from your inventory: 1) Change the "INTEGER 1" value to 0. Changing/adding/removing inventory items can cause problems, especially if you find that item later. Use at your own risk. Note that you can add inventory items that aren't actually in the game, such as "Winnings", "Perfect Smile", and "Arthur Lemming DBA". Leads me to wonder if the "Dental" area had a little more planned than implemented. ** Getting Past Live Organ Transplants Hate playing the game? Here's a few helpful cheats (from Mark Young): 1) Bring up the Event Manager 2) Under "Act1" open the "B3" menu for a list of items. 3) Change the "BellyOpen" value to "1" 4) Save, then Restore Or, if you still want to play: 1) Bring up the Event Manager 2) Under "Act1" open the "B3" menu for a list of items. 3) Change the "FudgeFactor" value to a high value (like "850000") 4) Save, then Restore This will make it a lot harder to kill the poor sod... ** Getting Past Doom The Doom level is the one that tends to give the most people the most heartache. Well, here's the easy way around: 1) Before going into the Doom level, activate the Event Manager (type in "REPEATEDDEVASTATION"), and minimize it. 2) Once you've entered the level, bring the manager back up quickly. 3) Under "Act2", open the "H8" menu. 4) Now, change the "HitPoints" number from 40 (or 20 if you don't have the Flak Jacket) to an outrageously high number of your choosing. Of course, that may be too much trouble for some people, so here's the wimpy way around: 1) Enter the Doom level, then look down and exit right back out. 2) Activate the Event Manager ("REPEATEDDEVASTATION") 3) Under "Act2", open the "H8" menu. 4) Now, change the "CrpytDefeated" (sp) number from 0 to 1. 5) You wimp.

Game Information/Trivia ------------------------------- * The Cottage is a real Cottage, owned by Terry Gilliam. Apparently, it was seen on a TV interview some months back. (I can't remember who sent me this information... Anyone care to own up, or to confirm?) * There are three never-before-heard full skits in the Cottage, located on the sofa in the Computer Area, as the last page of the book sitting there. Just click the radio for each one. (Does anyone have more info about these?) Yep, that's it. I'd love more info for this section, however... XIII.
