Hee Njoroge,
nice to see you still alive..... Well, I haven't been playing games for
quite some time: lack of time & interest. But since my baby girl is now
about 16 months old and the first 6 months were quite heavy, nobody can be
suprised about the lack of time 
I did try some other RTS or RTS kinda games, bought myself loads and loads
of games and hardware but never had the fun I had playing TA.
So that's why I ended up playing shooters like CounterStrike (next too
playing TA, I always have been a HalfLife fan). Even organize my own
lanparties once every 3 months. Never have been able to play TA there, lack
of interest here in the netherlands. When I did find some players knowing
the game, I found out I knew them all, played them all and defeated them
all.
Still I do wonder how my skill survived up to at this moment. So maybe I
will just have to visit one of your lans in the near future. That would be
nice, although I wouldn't like tossing my computer and all other stuff you
seem to need on a lan to England.
Well, maybe some future game will rejoin the old TA-community and we'll play
again. Time will tell....
