I hate to tell you this my friend, but the old days aren't coming back.
You're talking about a time when the whole online gaming thing was new to
you and everybody else. But I doubt if you can ever see it that way again no
matter what server is put on line, what game is played on it, or even who
joins up.

Oh, well, what do I know? Maybe I'm full of shit. If you do get a server
going for "regs" I might even reinstall Q3 and check it out. I would
certainly like to have that kind of fun again. Anyway merry Christmas and
good luck.
