Steve,

That's some pretty good news about the server and all..  I mean,
28.8k modems are already becoming the standard.. Most computer users
in my area (Ohio) already have 28.8s.  

About the more inexperienced pilots getting the snot kicked out of
them, that's just one more neat thing about the server!  I consider
myself a "good" pilot that could take a beating and give one out
as well..  See, the "good" pilots could take on the rookies as 
wingmates and fly together until they're good enough to take off on
their own.  I'm sure that there'll always be a kind, experienced pilot
around to help any newbies off the ground.  I know I would be..


Happy kitty whackin'!
