Same here Bill.  They were just more fun :)   There has never been anything 
to top Quake and Quake2 for CTF.   There have been a few weekends where i'd 
get a very GOOD 28.8 connection and i'd watch the sun go down, then come up 
again while sitting right here at this very desk!  I've even fallen asleep a 
couple times while playing Quake CTF online!
So now, when *I* have the connection, the hardware.... nobody is playing it 
:(
