Default PING Pat: I WON!!

Congrats!

I sent a reply earlier with the wrong date on it (3/17/2007) because I set
my computer date back temporarily and forgot to change it back. Not sure
where that message ended up.....

You get better at the game with practice, and it gets harder to quit as you
get better. I keep telling myself I'll stop when I score at least 500k. I
think it took me a few weeks of regular play to win my first game.

I emailed you a screenshot of my highest score but am not going to post it
on the web until I do top 500k.
