Turn sent to Paddy.
I have all kinds of good news today!
First, the biggest and best good news, I'm going to graduate in 8 weeks! I had flunked a class that was required, but it wasn't my fault. I also had a lot of credit substitution going on, so I was very unsure if I was going to graduate this spring.
After 5 years, I'm finnaly going to be a college graduate!
Second, but also great news, Windows XP Pro came in the mail today! I installed it with very few hitches. It has taken me the better part of the past 9 hours to get it up and running close to where I want it, but oh well.
Third, I finnaly got my Nforce Audio Processing Unit functioning! It has been one year since I bought this motherboard only to find out that the very nice audio proccesor does not work with Win 98. After forcing it to work in Win XP it sounds beautiful! I can finnaly pitch that 8 year old PCI 512 that has been trashing my wonderfull mp3's and game music! 
One thing did freak the heck out of me today. I had just replaced an old IDE cable in my box and rebooted. About 5 min after doing such the thing just froze. Strange, I thought. So I pressed the good ol' restart button and went upstairs. I cam back down about 2 min later to find the thing frozen again. Very strange, I thought. I again pressed the ol' restart button, BLACK SCREEN! The thing didn't restart! Almost in a panic, I looked inside the box. The CPU fan was NOT moving! Quickly I turned the machine off, and found that a power supply wire was resting on the fan. I moved it out of the way, waited about a half hour, and pushed the magic button. Lights blinked, hard drives spun, my BIOS flashed across the screen, it was not dead!!! 
I bow down before all those who invented the overheat sensor on Abit's motherboards! 
Well, anyway, I've had a great day,
Dan O.

Oh yeah, a question.
Beta Patch version 1.15 is out, and they expect the non-beta to be available in a few weeks. What is the plan? Will we all wait a few more weeks and put in the non-beta patch at the same time? Is there any reason we shouldn't all put in 1.15 now?
This is my first PBEM game so I have to ask,
Dan O.

well after nearly 80 years of dutch beer drinking, the dutch wise men discovered the secrets of Dutch sea turtles (and also the little known dutch flying turtles for aerial recon).
Then, within a measly 20 years, the dutch turtle riders have finally mapped the entire world as they know it to 300% accuracy! Unfortunately, the secrets of flight where entirely lost after an unfortunate crash into Mount Heineken.
So this is the real deal boys. Consider this the official Dutch atlas. Enjoy, and accept no substitutes 
some areas of interest include:
The Netherlands in the north west; a very rich and beautiful country, which houses the number 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th top cities of the world. The dutch would be happy to entertain any foreign workers, and they promise not to whip any tourists to death.
Skandnavia in the far south. An extremely rugged country, populated by rapidly breeding face painters who find happiness by living in hot deserts or in the murky swamps surounding the bay of Stockholm. 
Portgale to the east. Almost as beautiful as the rich Netherlands, Portgale is filled with green fertile fields and populated with slim people who walk twice as fast as the dutch and who wear well cleaned animal skins.
The Island of Gontoofar, to the east of Skandnavia. A very exotic and strange land where the larger one's hat is, the more important that person is. You should see there leader, what an impressive hat he has. 
And finally in the north eastern side of the world, lays vast stretches of virtually uninhabited lands.
There is the great red desert to the east of the Utrechtian mountain range as you can all see. North of that is the Silent Forest of Kiev which guards the sub continent from the evil northern glaciers, which in turn should serve as a warning to everyone to never enter the North Ocean of Sinkage. Even the sea turtles don't go there. 
As of 550 BC, the Netherlands has officialy named all major landmarks and countries, taking great care to not anger the erroneous natives of the lands the Dutch so carefully named. The list of areas is extensively long, however I'll at least end this note with the name of our massive continent, which is called Hollandia.

That map doesn't look right to me!
I should be in the south, yet I don't see my homeland there!
Is this map rotated by chance? I mean, should the map be wider than it is long?

Okay, I'm still confused.
I went into the game, and I can not mouse scroll more than one screen width from the south pole!
Where the heck am I?
Ooops, not from the south pole, TO the south pole. I have about 5-10 squares between me and the south pole.
This doesn't make any sense!
