	Do you also have the distinct pleasure of using the PA Parkway?
And if so, do you have to pay as much as I do when you live in the
state?  I used it to get to Atlantic City, and it cost me 10 dollars.
What a rippoff, and they won't even let you go 65.  Sheesh.

	Anyway, my question is if there is some more or less direct
way to get from Pitts. to Phil. without going on the cursed PA Parkway?
If so, let me know.  

	Oh, and just so I get something about netrek in here :

Rob ->  He is cool, probably just hit puberty and so is going
		through a rough time right now (hormones and all).
Freekill -> He lives in NY, his skills will be on a steady decline
		now....
Hector ->  He'll probably remain in top form, both as an asshole and
		a netrek player.
Yea Boy!!! -> He's cool, but he'll need to start playing more if he
		wants to keep on top.
Wreck ->  He's just a stud.... nice guy (nicer than rob these days).
Duck ->  Judging from his posts, he's one card shy of a full deck.
		And he can't spell
Videodrome ->  He thinks you have to have a defense below one to be
		anything resembling a team player.... but he's good
		at what he does (which is play netrek and be a jerk)
Red Shirt ->  Haven't seen/heard from him except for him to deny the
		rantings and ravings of justin and brian as not
		representative of the whole TWNN team... but who  
		couldn't figure that out anyway?
Spaceman Spiff -> Seen him around... he's keeping in form.... doing a
		good job of remolding his image into a respectable one,
		by staying out of stupid flame wars.
Balton ->  Saw him blow real easy the other day, but then we all know
		I am his arch-foe anyhow.
Ray ->  He has a life, he's gonna have a great job, he'll get married
		and have kids and mark my words, he'll be raising them
		on netrek.  "Now son, don't fire your torps so close 
		together.... that's better.... now let's go, time for
		your nap..."
Mojo ->  He's got an attitude... he's done a lot for netrek what with
		the INL and this newsgroup (and alt.games.xtrek) before
		that..... but he's still a bit of a dick.... 
Guru -> What a loser.... he thinks he's better than everyone except of
		course he will bow down to those already considered to
		be the best in the hopes of achieving recognition with
		them..... he can't bear the thought that the iastaters
		whooped his ass.
gc00 -> nice guy... Justin said he didn't have a clue but justin is full
		of shit....
Sandia ->  Where the hell does this guy play??? I never see him... how is
		he any good when I haven't even seen him?
Lance ->  Who the hell is he?  Never even heard ofhim... has he got another
		alias?  Maybe he's some loser like brian who plays 20 hours
		a day on the weekends until before you even notice him 
		he's an admiral.
Drewskii ->  Where's this guy been hiding?
Mucus -> Still an asshole, apparently a nice guy outside of the game, 
		which of course means a lot to anyone not from CMU, since
		the only place they'll ever see him is in the game.... and
		it's funny people says he makes them play good, but I guess
		now we know why those loser gang members follow other loser
		gang leaders....
Video Sex Pope -> Hmmmm... at least he's not from CMU.
FillInTheBlank -> Cranky old bastard who lately isspending way too much time
		playing netrek when he should be visiting his grand-kids.  
Old Nick ->  Haven't seen him around, but then he never did play on real
		servers anyway.
Felix ->  Everybody loves his posts.... you can't oppose him because 
		otherwise you'll lose... even if you win, you lose, because
		he'll talk circles around you.... 
Ginger Lynn -> Pacifier... lately has been posting but not flaming... reminds
		me of my grandmother....  but I don't know why...
Superman ->  Still plays that god damn battleship.
Undead Warrior -> has taken coding up now and probably sucks these days.
Exodus ->  The next freekill, but without a friend named justin.
Ged ->  Loser who finally realized netrek is a waste of time... he's
		not going to be playing much anymore, and thus will lose
		whatever skills he had to begin with....  still has his
		internet chess server stealing CMU cycles, so he comes out
		a winner anyway (I got them guys!!! I got them!!!)
EveryoneElse -> I can't remember you all, so you're probably nobodies, but
		maybe you'll be someone someday, if you sacrifice weekends
		to the netrek gods.... and if you lose whatever semblence
		of responsibility you once had.....

	Insert smilies where appropriate.  Be offended, if it
makes you feel better.

	Ciao,
