Well I am sorry you feel this way, and if I really felt that there were 1000s
of people with 300 baud modems that "could not afford" a 15.00 2400 or a
35.00 used 14.400 I would understand, however I don't think thats the case. I
believe its more a case of not wanting to rather than can't afford to. One of
the guys locally to me has a Commodore 64 with an external 300 baud hayes. He
told me the other day that he does not want to go to the expence of buying
his friend's used 9600 baud Hayes for 25.00 because he only uses the modem
once in awhile. At the same time he asked me if I knew any BBS boards that
still supported 300 in this area????? To me that is "pig headed".

TradeWars i'll agree with you on, I win most tradewar games I play because I
spend alot of time playing and using stratagy, in a 20 minute per day game it
would be harder, however if EVERYONE has the same 20 minutes it equals out.
Lord on the other hand is a simple game that I can spend less than 10 minutes
on per day and still kick butt.
