1. To Igor Makovsky

It is very good to see you "officially" back, Igor :-) . I look
forward to your new project. How do you manage to find the time for
it with your studies, girlfriend (still Lena, isn't it? :-) ) and all?

That's very nicely said, Igor. The same goes for me :-) .

Well, personally I am not fond of ANY invisible challenges, and I do
admit that the invisible stairs in this particular room are an unfair
challenge (a little less so climbing up, because you can see by
Willy's movement where some of them are - but not all). However,
since it is Steve Worek's original design, and it corresponds with
the room name as well, I will not dare modify it in any way. An
argument for it could be that it is very early in the game, so even
if you lose all of your lives, it's not a big deal. And coming back
is slightly easier, as mentioned above - and you should have the
experience of coming down (but the challenge is still difficult, of
course - but that's what snapshots are for :-) ).


2. To DrUnKeN mAsTeR!!!

I am glad to hear things have gone well with you, and that you have
managed to take at least some stuff along on a floppy disk :-).
Downloading files available on the Web should be easy enough for your
with the fast, broadband connections in the US :-) .

So I look forward to the development of your projects while you wait
for your green card, and just steer clear of the "dry counties"! :-)


3. To Andrew Broad

The overall feeling I get from your message is not very optimistic
for MM/JSW. It's like the Murphy's law. It looks like you may have
some time for JSW unless The Australian Open generates additional
load of work. Well, this means the AO /will/ generate an additional
workload indeed, I'm afraid :-( . Isn't it time somebody wrote a JSW
game called "Jet Set Willy: The Curse of Tennis" ??? :-)
