Well, now I've got to answer the new ones!

And great idea for adding the link to the ads. Now, if people don't know about them, they can go straight there!

As to: what was I doing when I heard about the attacks on 9/11/01...I was at work. I had no radio, so I came here for the only news I could get (the internet news sites were too jammed up).

Favorite message forum: Why, here of course! (Then - books) *for now*

How I found IW: I found IW and the forum because I was surfing the net for some place to get an answer to a question on Darkstone. This forum looked to be the most inviting, so I peeked, lurked and then posted. Then I found my way to GD and have been living here ever since.

I answered most of them before, but for Ziroc's new ones :

WHAT WERE YOU DOING WHEN YOU HEARD OF THE ATTACKS ON 9-11-2001?

I was on a plane, waiting for the pre-flight safety announcement on the Aberdeen to Gatwick flight. The last 2 passengers to arrive sat down next to me (just when I thought I was going to be able to stretch out over three seats) and told me what they had just seen on CNN. Spent 5 hours at Gatwick watching the big screen, and trying to keep the tour organiser from getting too worried (his wife flew into Newark the night before, and she often has meetings in downtown Manhattan). And for information, the flight crew didn't share the news with us whilst on the flight.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MESSAGE FORUM ON IRONWORKS?

General Discussions of course (although it used to be W&W).

HOW DID YOU FIND IRONWORKS AND THE FORUM?

I did a search last October for a new game - came across the W&W preview, and the forum had just started up after the US release. Read some of the posts and decided to go out and get the game. Only problem was that I had to wait another 3 weeks for an Australian release date.

Wow Neb, that's pretty precise. Were they exactly 25 centimetres? Or is there a margin of error here, say + or - 2 cm? Did ya measure 'em?

Just kidding - that sounds pretty scary!
