  Well, it took me a long time, but I can finally beat level 7 on the Rookie	
setting and without cheating. Usually takes me 2 or 3 lives (I did it with only
1 life once but might have been a fluke). I don't want to post the method here
and ruin it for someone, but it can be done.
 
  Anyone in the Austin, Texas area want to modem up?
