Same here, HunterZ, when I finally do get my new ride, I'll be in my glory - when I started having to ride the bus I felt like it wasn't the best way to get around, I felt like I was getting 2nd best or even 3rd best, and it made me feel cheaper inside - but then that school (Trashnoma) that taught …

I am …

you might like to check out the game trading zone: http://gametz.com/ Thanks - but I'm having poor luck over at GameTZ for quite a while now (very, very few offers of a trade) - so that's why I'm trying to trade at other places where I might have better luck.

Hello, with Cassandra Galleries so hard to obtain, I guess my best resource is to borrow the game from someone who has this game - so, if there's anyone who has a copy of this game here at VOGONS, may I please borrow it? Thanks in advance.

Hey, your laptop is interesting! It reminds me of the one I bought last month for retro games - an Asus Eee PC netbook (for running DOS, Win 3.xx, Win 95/98, and some Win XP games now that Win Vista/7 is currently out). I didn't know Epson made laptops, either - thought they just made printers. …
