Like the rest of you, I'm trying to get into the games industry. I think I'll start on the tutorial - I seem to be getting quite a few requests for it from people by email as well as in the newsgroups. I'm still working on the content for my Yaroze page, but that may be up later tonight - membername is Alphafrog. In the meantime, you can take a peek at www.dapad.co.uk, which is my own site. Have fun, Peter Wright. ---------- >From: macsuppor@a1.nl (DEnnis Brinkhuis) In article <1dl04x6.1vumjl81qg8gnnN@a1-88-108.a1.nl>, macsuppor@a1.nl (DEnnis Brinkhuis) wrote: >Peter Wright wrote: > >> Well, I thought I'd follow everyone's lead and post up a "Hi yah" profile. >> >> I started with computers back in 79 when my dad and I built a kit.
