You are correct 7.  I mean I actually achieved 50.6k uplink the other night, but did my download speed increase?   :banghead:

Would I ask if it did?  :lol:

By the by--I so enjoyed running around in your shoes in Heros United Mod.  Interesting power set.

I'm not a Moderator, but I play one on TV. ;)  The Care Bears were a Valentines Day gift last year by one of our talented artists.  After doing all of those things in about a 30 day span, it's probably safe to say that he's a bit sick of them, and won't be taking any requests for any more of them.  If he feels like identifying himself to make one for you, I leave up to him.  We tend to go through avatar crazes like most people go through tissue paper.  However, that analogy doesn't hold up too well when you consider how many of them get recycled & reused.  :blink: :wacko: :lol:

Well, that explains everything.  Thanks, Panther (or do you prefer Gunn?).  I really need to be more aware... :P

Too bad the charge per emote is so much higher...

Personally, I'm running Geos on my Commodore 64.

Running what on a WHAT?

I vaguely remember C64 from the fog of my teen years.

That's not even a classic--it's a relic.   : :P

No, the Vic 20 is a relic.  The 64 still enjoys some unofficial online community support, and was still (last I checked) heavily community supported in Europe.  That makes it a classic.  ;)

I stand corrected.

Actually, if we're bringing up the older stuff.  Anyone recall TI-180?  (I think it was 180.)
