The problem, according to Earthlink's tech support people, is this new e-mail virus. Apparently, Earthlink's incoming e-mail server is getting flooded and thereby, some of the normal mail isn't getting through. The only thing that you (or I) can effectively do, is to try resending, if you get a bounce.

I have 10Meg of e-mail space that is essentially empty, because I use Netscape mail program to download and delete everything off of my e-mail server. And I checked the webmail site to see if there was anything that hadn't been downloaded, because of my current HD problems. So, this virus thing is the problem.

We had a similar email problem here in Australia only a few months ago.

From what I understand, they were not able to completly get rid of it, they had to keep adding servers,,,,

I hope they get this sorted for you E_T.

Well, your e-mails are getting to me, but anywhere from 12 to 24 hours after you had originally sent them. So let's do this, you send the regular e-mail and also post the save here. When the times of when I start receiving my e-mail starts getting close to the times that you sending them, then we can go back to the regular way of doing things.

Sorry that it has to be like this, but blame it on that e-mail Virus. If the save had been posted, I could atleast have played it before going to work. Now, it won't be until tommorrow morning (at the earliest) before it is played.

This turn caught me like often just before I go to bed, already after midnight. The next caught me on the way to work (where I am now). As long as they are so short, I can play them quickly even in these situations. This will change later, when the turns get more complicated. And in both situations I didn't have time to spare to fire up Apolyton.

It's pretty annoying to play Conquests now, because I need to flip CDs everytime I play a turn between my other games, and Firaxis hasn't been smart enough to include a "Play" button in the automatic menu, just "Install" and "Quit".

Hi Sir Ralph, no offense was intended

When you talk of flipping CD's, do you mean between PTW and C3C?
