Happiest of Holidays, my dear!

Glad to hear you will have some free time coming up to burn on games. One of the - essential, if you ask me - spices of life they are.

There is another pinball simulator, Visuall Pinball, that is not quite as flash as Future Pinball (doesn't have any dynamic 3d camera chase modes) yet still very good. VP also requires less processing power than FP to run at full tilt. Most alluring is it has tons more tables than FP. In fact, just about every pinball table produced in the 20th century has been recreated for VP. The VP simulator and all the VP tables are available for free at www.vpforums.org.

Another fun FP table:

This one is more cheesy than aesthetic, but still lots of fun. Over a hundred more FP tables of many different subjects and of varying quality (many are quite good) can be found via the links page at the main site.

Greetings Candy, Recently I learned about a great free pinball simulator called Future Pinball that I thought you might be interested in since you've spent some time in the arcade and seem to be fond of a wide variety of games. Here's a shot of the the Li II table based on Giger's painting of the same name:

The FP simulator program is available at www.futurepinball.com, and the Li II table can be downloaded here:

In the latter case you'll have to register at the site to download, but it is free and without risk of obligations or spam.

Dear Candy,

Thank you so much for your kind words. It's always wonderful to hear from you! I hope we get a chance to catch up sometime soon.

Love,

Nicole

Thank you!Sorry,I only saw your message just now.I hope you had a good birthday too!

Hey! How are you & yours? Well, I hope. All's well enough here. I'll have to find you & Phil onlione some nigh for a chat.

Without going into to many details my life is changing right now. Please be patient if you leave a message for me here. I may not be able to check it for awhile.

I had a feeling that the Dixie Chicks might be a point at which your musical tastes overlapped with mine. I have 4 of their albums -- "Wide Open Spaces", "Fly", "Home" and "Taking the Long Way". I also have the DVD "An Evening with the Dixie Chicks Live from the Kodak Theatre". Great stuff!

"Jane" is going well. Today, I've finished work on the 18th chapter (2 more remain). If you'd like to see more of the book let me know.

Love, Pet
