Well Lephturn. AppLink went belly-up. So for a few months I was out of a job, but then HTC decided I was getting too thin and hired me.

The official line should get posted sometime soon.

I wondered what happened to you. Glad to hear you are doing well and glad to see your back.

Well good to hear your going to be at HTC. We need you! Shame Applink didn't work out. Hope your doing well.

Basically, I've been on Weight Watchers since March, and I've lost 60 lbs. I was 250lbs, and I'm passing 190 on my way to 180 or so. A big part of that has been that I've gotten REALLY into mountain biking. I bike to work almost every day (about 10k each way) and I go hardcore off-roading 2 or 3 times a week. I love it, but it's also taken me outside alot more than normal.

WTG Leph! Congrats on the weight loss. You and I were in the same boat, it seems. I started at 230 in April, am down to 190 today, and I have 30 more to go to reach my goal of 160.

I have a professional LifeCycle bike in my basement that I ride for an hour every day after work. That combined with Weight Watchers, has been burning off the pounds for me.

Good luck, keep at it!

If you like the LifeCycle, you should give mountain biking a try! Being outside, exploring, and lots of technical challenge makes it way more fun IMO. If you are interested in getting into mountain biking, drop me an email. I'd be glad to give you some tips on purchasing a bike and such.

WTG on your weight loss! The WW program is really good, and works well. I really don't find it that difficult anymore, it's become second nature. Heck, my tastes have changed. I really can't stomach the stuff I used to eat anymore.

What was this thread about again?

You guys would hate me. I can sit down and eat a WHOLE boston cream pie, and weight a pound LESS the next day. Only way I can gain weight is by heavy weight lifting.

I'm using windows 2000, after updating drivers I got every piece of hardware to work except for my joystick-it's an older model Wingman Warrior and I can't use the hat button.
I reccomend using windows 2000 instead of XP, it might not look so good but it's much more solid.

oh,and make sure you install the latest service pack in win2000-my webcam wasn't working with the retail ,fortunately installing the service pack made it work again.
I haven't played AH much since I installed 2000,but the performance seems the same as in Windows Millenium. Same goes for IL2,after I updated my video card drivers and DirectX.
