    Yeah, seems like a long shot for Alan to write the strat guide at this point.

    Perhaps an inofficial one, though?

    "I think the real figures probably are about a million or less." - David Irving on the number of Holocaust victims.

      I'd be much more interested in the "kiss and tell" version of what happened during development...

        So you'll have to by the Limited Edition for the designer notes, won't you?

          GP, quit teasing them! On Feb 15, 1999 Dan & Mark switched from the shareware version of UBB to the professional version of UBB. For some reason, date of registration could not be carried over with other profile data.

          If you look in the Archives you'll see the converted UBB HTML pages show older registration dates as "b. 2-15-99." On conversion to vBulletin the "default" registration is Dec 69, apparently some date connected with the founding of Arpanet.

            Well, the Unix Era begins at 00:00:01 January 1st, 1970, so that's what a lot of servers default to for time - even Windows ones. I took it for granted that was it.

            And I think you longtimer guys deserve it - as a recognition for long and ardent duty, eh?

              It was tough back in the old ARPAnet days. Sometimes we'd go years without a reply to our posts. (Busily refreshing the browser text screen every 5 minutes...hoping to hear from someone.)

                Damn you, I got diet coke all over my monitor thanks to joke about the good old days. Of course I do remember my early Usenet days 1980 when you would actually wait days for a reply to a post.

                    To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.
