 PH> I've been down here for over 10 years and I can only recall about 2-3
 PH> times feeling any quakes so my my perspective it's been significant.

I haven't checked any news today, so haven't seen if it's had an impact. I
guess here in Wellington, we have little ones so often, that we're just used
to it. Mind you, we expect them, and that's why we don't have many brick
houses up here. So can't say I understand what you're going through, but hope
it's just minor.

 PH> Oh and the weathers been hot then cold then hot... it's nutty

Our dark clouds turned into bright white fluffy clouds. So far, the weather's
held out.

 PH> Welcome to my world. Falcons Elite seems to be the least favoured game I
 PH> have come across but Trade Wars is one I would like to have a bash. LORD
 PH> is addictive.

I want to try TW as well. Set it up on my test rig, just running it locally
to check it out, and figured it's going to take some reading first. I was
flying around from system to system, and none had planets. Was told I could
fire some bomb that would create a planet, but I didn't have any of them. :)

So I just went system to system, typing in random numbers. 

Falcon's Eye I played a loooong time ago, and if I remember rightly, I was
playing BRE first, and then switched to FE when that came out. Had a bit of a
play on BRE on the test rig and it's easier than I remember, so there's hope
for me. haha

If I recall, FE was exactly the same, but fantasy instead of sci-fi. Any
ideas why nobody is playing FE? Is it a different game and nobody likes it,
or is it the same as BRE, and everyone is playing BRE? :)

 PH> Yep been looking at that site for info on old echoareas as the current
 PH> echolists don't always carry some of the old fido folklore.

I just went and uploaded a few thousand files to my BBS, and been collecting
from a few other archives and collating them together. Got a few more
directories that I'm going to sort and upload over the weekend, but it's got
me wondering if Mystic has a short file display format where it's just the
filename and the first line of the description so there is one entry per
line. If not, I might see if I can put together an MPL script or something.

 PH> Tonight I'm playing around with Allfix and still wondering if I have
 PH> netmail routing set up for the HUB correctly but hey it's all fun in the
 PH> end - all be it a tad frustrating at times to suss, but that's the
 PH> challenge of it :-)

Good luck. I always rate things in number of controllers it costs me. eg;
game controllers for consoles, or mice/keyboards for computers. If it gets so
frustrating that I smash a controller, then it's time to stop and look at
pictures of lolcats on the intertubes. :)
