Hi, Mary.

Yes, I did change my email address.  I am actually using the yahoo
address for stuff on the internet to avoid getting spam on my real
address since I changed it.

I nearly gave up on Rose Tattoo because I had so much trouble getting
it to run before but this time I just installed it and it immediately
worked.  I really think it has to do with upgrading to XP Pro cause
that is all that is different from when I tried it before.  I'm so glad
I didn't give up because I would have missed out.  Since it's kind of
old, I just really didn't think it would be as good as it is.  I am
really looking forward to Silver Earring.  I played just the very first
part of the demo but I decided to quit and wait until I could play the
whole game but I enjoyed it.  I probably won't get to have it until
Christmas, though but maybe I will get it sooner.

Rose Tattoo has held my interest from the very beginning.  So far I
haven't gotten bored with it once.  Everything is logical and there is
nothing that you just have to guess what to do cause it all makes
sense.  I love that.  The only two things that have annoyed me in the
game are: 1.) It takes quite a while to go in or out of Holmes' house
because they have to remove or put on their coats and hats.  That is
getting old.  2.) Sometimes when I try to "use" an object, the game
just quits.  I have to restart the game and go do something else and
come back to "use" the object.  It has happened with 3-4 objects so far
but I'm always able to go back and try again at a different time.
Those are my only gripes and they are little (unless there comes a time
that leaving and coming back to an object doesn't make it useable) so I
think the game is great.
