please tell me this isn't real

this was in ref to dixies post about lysanders with revolvers shooting down zeros

Ok. This isn't real. [:'(]

Wow, PT boats are if anything, even more effective in AE. Not, you understand, that I'm complaining.

PT boats seem very effective but reloading their torpedoes seems to be tougher.[:)]

My download is broken again -have to wait another 24 hours...

I think it's slowly time to give up [:@]

Well, I don't know if this will help, but it might.

Years ago, when I was on dialup, I ran across a download manager called "getright" (you can dl a free trial version at the getright Web site) that controls the link between you and the dl server. If the link is broken for any reason, you just restart getright, and it treconnects and resumes where the dl left off.

When I bought WitP, my server would log me off every six hours, and the download took 27. Getright enabled me to get the job done. I thought it to be an excellent product.

-oh. If the current version has a setting for single or multiple streams, be sure to set it for single streaming.

Well, that's certainly going to be a problem; thankfully, I still have seven slightly-used old destroyers with low mileage who can at least be expected to die gallantly.

"The Thread"-newbie question - What is the background on this habit? You tithe a tenth of your time? Threadtax?

Just slightly off kilter is all

[pasternakski]

Dawgs, I won't be hanging around here making a fool of myself for a good long time. I have a summer recreation project with a few old friends that will keep me busy until September, and then, I have accepted a one-year teaching appointment at the university I retired from a couple of years ago, so I have to leave my cozy retirement digs behind in the hands of another friend and colleague until I can get back to being the lazy old retired slut that I have become.

Besides, I made a pact with myself some time ago that I would never again buy a computer wargame until at least six months after its release, so, as far as I'm concerned, AE doesn't even exist until the end of January.

See all you maniacs later, maybe.

Welcome back, Pas! How was your trip? [:)]

Torsten, this sounds like just the answer for you, particularly if you can still set it for single stream. [:)]

Wow, big changes, Pas! Best of luck with all of them! [8D]

Don't worry, we'll still be here. [:D]

Now I understand. Phase I, indoctrinate young, malleable minds . . . . then Phase II.

Hope you at least wander in occasionally until January rolls around.

The best thing about playing as the allies is that eventually economy of force becomes the only invalid strategy.

Yep, there was no Wing Commander Humguffery shooting down Zeroes with his revolver whilst flying a Lysander. But Pilot Officer Humguffery was a real part of the Malta seige [:)]

Without a sound Japanese economy, you won't need a strategy. Everything will fall apart.
