Subject: [alt-beam] Re: HELP!!!
I agree, you just have to keep working. I had a heck of a lot more dead bots
than nine before I got anything to really work. And when I mean ALOT MORE. I
mean ALOT MORE. (even though alot isn't a real word.) Anyway, perhpas you
should just buy a kit, so you can see some progress in your work, and see
something comming to life. But definitly keep with it. This isn't a
brainless sport.
