Hey there fellow SC4 junkies. This is an interesting thread...my turn now I guess. My name is Steve. I''m a misplaced New Yorker living in sunny Orlando, Florida (great for my golf game). I''m an avid gamer since Atari 2600 (I loved the Activision games...especially KaBoom). I wish I had continued to keep up with computer "stuff" because some of the computer-speak on this site tends to zoom straight over my head -- hence my tag line..."I hate computers". Dirk, thank you for creating Simtropolis. You and your admins & mods do an incredible job. Keep up the good work. --Time to go play SC4 and see if I can get one of my cities to reach 100,000. Thanx again I''ve learned soooo much from reading this site...thank you.
