Hi Erik. Thanks. Been busy of late and just now found time to respond.
First, I picked up my new computer on Friday and it is clean, ready to go. The "geeks" even downloaded the app to make the desktop look like XP/7. But, I have not had the time to set it up (with a good block of time to spend exclusively on getting around on the new rig).
I may have to wait until this Saturday.
Secondly, I am concerned about downloading the game and then trying to exchange PBEM files. The process looks different than what I am used to doing. We'll see where that goes?
I've a more open mind, but am afraid I may not have the patience or the knowledge necessary to "get it" fully. I guess I am adverse to change?
