Back from sin city

<div class="IPBDescription">Exor-siiise the dee-mons</div>Hey all,

If you haven't already noticed, I'm back from my vacation in Vegas. Had fun, gambled, etc.

I will be finishing off the Mapper feature this evening, with some really hot new stuff from Manah, Relic25, and maybe more. Don't miss it.

As for the rest of the week, we might have some surprises in store. I will be releasing updates to the XP/2000 Performance tuning guide (I figured out two HUGE irritations of XP that will free up many GB of space and tons of disk write time). I also plan on writing another XP/2000 guide, this one dealing with how to secure your PC from internet intrusions, viruses, and other attacks. There may also be some interviews in the near future. All in all, things are busy as usual in NS land.

    Did you return as a rich man or did you have to sell your clothes to pay your gambling debts?
    Hope you had fun <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    I lost money, of course. The first night I played Blackjack I was actually up $450 in the first hour (I play $25 tables), but it was so early I didn't want to quit. Ended up losing it all, naturally. But we had a blast.

    Win98/ME tuning guide... hmmmmm. Possibly, possibly.

    Told you he lost all his money and was forced to "Work" his way home, with whoever would pay the most <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

    Well, I did spend a lot. About $3500 now that go through the list... Only $500 of that was gambling though. Freaking David Coperfield tickets alone were $100 apiece. Expensive town.

    Ehhh, that's Sigfreid and Roy that do the tiger thing. David Copperfield is more about lots of super-cute girl assistants.

    And yes, I had a date. My girfriend. Do you really think I would have gone to a magic show on my own accord when I could have been at the blackjack tables?
