Pretty impressive you can speak three languages Carbon, even if you can't speak Spanish well.

Hello and welcome Diablo416, so how is scarface the world is yours, was on my list of games to try?

Thanks for all the mentions Zylstra flattery will get you everywhere. Did see your mention on Wikipedia about Computer Hope's mail: "I just don't recommend you use their email service until issues are resolved". I'm still working on getting it resolved. I'm pretty much to the point now of thinking it cannot be resolved without more people answering questions. May just make a hybrid between the forums and the e-mail so I can offload questions to the forums. But unfortunately still a work in progress, but eventually I hope to get it down.

Even if someone is not a fan of Apple computers I don't see how any geek could not like Steve Wozniak (http://www.woz.org/)

[Zylstra]

Lol
I forgot that I had that little note about the ComputerHope email service (I guess having had two emails buried there might have made me a bit giddy to put it there)
Heh, the picture of Woz and Steve on the first page of that link is just like the movie

Now, who else creates a website out of a project about Computers and then a few years becomes the internet top computer help website?

Huh. That sounds like a pretty interesting game, you did a nice job reviewing it. May have to check it out some time.

Oblivion is a completely different game than Scarface, it's a role playing game where you take on the role of a character (any number of classes from warriors to mage classes) and must help to close the Oblivion gates that are opening around the world of Cyrodiil.

It's like most typical fantasy RPG's, walk or ride horse back across the world completing various quests, reaping the rewards, and equipping your character.

The game has some of the best graphics out there when compared to most other games and if you enjoy RPG games you'll definitely find it fun.

The American spellings are correct. The Brit spellings came about from the "French-ified" British aristocracy. The purist existing form of English is spoken in the mountains of Applachia. Spell checkers use what is customary to the region, not necessarily what is correct.  This concludes your English lesson for today.

Yes, both versions are correct.  But typically, adding an "e" at the end makes it feminine.

Looking at the recent posts, I have to say: "I think I have too many computers"
I would greatly throw two out, but now its illegal! And I ain't payin to dispose of junk!
