Write your reply.

assistant: Ahh sorry about that last message then, I got this one AFTER I read the
message
to Juan Carlos.  Anyway, I will just move the message out of the inbound
Netmail
folder and into the Private BBS E-Mail folder, so don't worry about resending
your message via Internet E-Mail.  No, my conference 0 is strictly for
nbound
and outbound Internet E-Mail, it links to no Fidonet conferences.  All my
Fidonet echomail conferences are stored in their own message conferences on
the
BBS.  I don't know what went on with Juan Carlos, but he mostly calls BBSs to
chat so he probably has no clue to what he is doing as far is sending and
receiving Internet or Fidonet mail.  Anyway, I will chose to stay out of the
matter so you don't take legal action against my company as well heheheh..
f
you wish to contact me again, please use hiawatha@znet.com (My personal
-Mail
box) and I will get back to you right away.

assistant: Can anyone rember the order of Tron levels?  It's been such a long time since
I played, but the highest level I remeber getting to was SNOBOL.  does anyone
know of any levels higher than that?
Also if I'm not mistaking, the previous levels to SNOBOL were, RPG, BASIC,
FORTRAN, ughh.. i can't even remeber.
If anyone can post some levels they know and the order, that would be great.
thanks

Intel Arcade Game Ambitions Hold Big Promise for {PC } Gamers, Too
The Wall Street Journal reports Intel is launching a program to make its
processor the standard for coin-operated arcade games. Move might assist the
ailing industry, which is hampered by proprietary designs that make it
difficult to upgrade or replace games. Has even better implications for end
users. Once software developers build a cool game for an Intel-based arcade,
they can easily move it to an Intel-based PC. If the idea takes off, it could
benefit users in time for Christmas 1998.

    afin de donner le chemin le plus court selon chacun des scenarios.
    Pacific Yosemite
     A) Scenic Coast : tourner a droite pour passer SUR l'overpast.
     B) Coast Hills  : tourner a droite encore au premier carrefour.
                       Highway 156.
     C) Valley Farms : Tout droit, Highway 33.
     D) Foothills    : Tourner a gauche. Highway 49.
     E) Sierra Vista : Highway 120, plus rapide, a force de la faire. ;)
    Cape Cod - Niagara
     A) premiere course : Tout droit.
     B) Countryside  : Tourner a droite au premier carrefour.
     C) Appalchians  : Highway 159. Record 2:24.
     D) Upstate      : Higway 90. Record 1:59 J'ai jamais trouv� la
                       H-20.
     E) Niagara      : Highway 20. Record 2:21. La H-104 est 5 secondes
                       plus lente. ;)
   Si "mon" trajet ne te plait pas, choisis la voiture la moins rapide
   et essaye chacun des circuits en suivant au parc-choc les voitures
   controlees par l'ordinateur. Tu pourras alors te faire un chemin.
     Si tu reussi de meilleurs temps, j'aimerais que tu le dise.
   Par ailleurs, chacune des courses ci-dessus ont un "shortcut" que je
   n'ai jamais trouv�. Si tu sais ou ils sont, tu peux me dire la route
   ?
