- You will need many triews while the BBS is 90% of its time full, sorry we are working
- on a solution.
-
- The fact that the BBS is so slow is that the network between the BBS and you is
- quite slow and the BBS uses hotkeys so all you type appears on your screen after
- twice that distance.

- Can be, the TRADEWARS menu itself was not made on a >2 colour screen and it
- turned out that on a multi colour screen the characters are the same as the
- background. This will be fixed :-)
