Well I played AD&D too Dan and at least you didn't cast the 2nd level spell of "Stinking Cloud" (p.72 of Players Handbook) by accident. Besides, the guy is at least using Linux. His daughter, whom seems inexorably (sp) tied to MS and Win98 may be caught in the 8th level spell of "Trap the Soul" (p.92) cast by the Evil Emporer Bill Gates. Ahh well...I had better get back to my Jan.
