Where i live there is a place called the Impact Gaming Center where they have completely 
networked computers, top of the line, 12 i think, anyways, they also have the latist 
games, with there networking hardware it is easy to appreciate the multi-player effect!
I pitty those who do not have such a place to crawl to and urge them to start or look 
into one, the place I know of is making a killing, Plus, all there computer stuff is a 
Tax write off

Because of this ability we play faster and more often then most people in the country 
and i would just like to say, we truly have a league of our own, if you are ever in IL 
come in and stop by for a quick ass-wupin

That's all for now,  Mojo
