gaming client for Mac:
-
- Perth, Western Australia -- March 16, 2001

- Your Objective: Take over Net Space. In Gridz,
you lead an army of ToolBots: Workers, Strikers, and Hackers,
and along the way, you'll encounter vicious enemy ToolBots who
are going to try to suck the life out of you! Look for special
tokens which will let you build better ToolBots and climb to
higher levels.

gaming service, was first introduced for public beta testing
in July 1999 with support for 11 game titles, and had already
received many rave reviews, including an award of "Best

1999 Hall of Fame. GameRanger now has over 45,000 members and
support for over 60 popular game titles.

Ex.
-
- Immerse yourself in the futuristic role-playing
adventure game that is Deus Ex. Based on the Unreal Tournament
engine, this epic game delivers all elements of a superb RPG
and enhances it with brute force mentality. Play as a strategic
problem solver that picks locks, sneaks past guards in the dark,
and hacks computer systems; or try frontal assaults with bullets
and rockets blazing. Listen to characters throughout the game
to uncover conspiracies, but decide who you can trust.

- OS X not delayed?
- I have just been informed from unofficial
sources that the e-mail I received was an automated one that
is sent to any orders that take longer than 30 days after placing
the order. If this is true that would indicate that the e-mail
I was sent was not a notice of delay, but rather a "don't
worry, we're still here" type of e-mail since my order was
placed more than 30 days ago.

- OS X delayed?
- I just received an e-mail from Apple explaining
that my order of OS X is "experiencing a greater backlog
delay than originally anticipated." FYI, I order my copy
of OS X right when they sent news to beta testers that we could
get $30 off the retail price by using a special promo code when
ordering. They also said that beta testers would order at the
discount will be among the first ones to receive OS X. Here's
the e-mail explaining the delay:
-
- Dear Apple Customer,
-
- We appreciate your recent order for Apple
products and apologize for the delay in fulfilling it. Unfortunately,
one or more of the items ordered is experiencing a greater backlog
delay than originally anticipated. Our goal is to get your order
to you as soon as possible, but if you wish to cancel or change
the order due to the delay, please contact us as soon as possible.
-
- We apologize for any inconvenience this delay
has caused and appreciate your business.
-
- They are characteristically not specific
as to how long it is delayed. I'll keep you updated as I receive
new info.

- Updated Forums.
- For the last few days I have been running
an updated version of vBulletin, version 2.0. This new version
of the forum software I use has significantly more features.
These new features include: private messaging, buddy lists, avatars,
database optimizations, calendar (which I'm using for the clan's
event calendar), and much more. Enjoy!
