My problem isn't a lack of knowledge on how to click on new, name a folder and then run the install program to that folder.
My problem comes later, when I get a turn in and the file name is PBEM. PBEM where? In my C:program/shrapnel/spcammo/spmbt/pbem/*.* or in the C:MBT35/spmbt/pbem/*.* folder. To know that I have to start keeping records on who is playing what game in which folder. If I didn't, I would end up zipping the wrong files and sending them to the wrong players.
Frankly, that is more trouble then I want to be involved with.
I give my opponents enough grief without having them give the files special names. One must be nice to the Loyal opposition.
There are still several players who want in, I think. So I will transfer to the half pay list and in a month or so, when I've finished the games I have in process, I'll install the 3.5 patch.
And yes, I do know how to do that.
Paul, yes. Basically ELINT, and sometimes a little crypto work, when the two overlapped. My math skills were not up to full time crypto work. I had friends on the Liberty and just missed being on the Pueblo. I switched cruises with a guy who had the Winter cruise and hadn't been to sea before. Winter cruises are NASTY in that part of the world. Not as bad as a Bering Sea cruise on a clapped out WW2 destroyer in January and February, but bad enough. You did at least one Korea tour didn't you? Imagine a Korean winter without the mountains as a wind break. I have my certificate from Davy Jones and figured I would be either in the hole, the sack or working on my UMD correspondence courses.
