Wizzy with his trademark infectious laugh when he got a kill or he came back from a trip to the tower.

Wizzy was special, he would spend an hour climbing the mountains in the TT of Crater Map, then giggle every time he killed someone. As soon as he was killed he would do it all over again. :rofl

If anyone has old film with Wizzy on vox, we should put together snippets of them into a little vid.  Make him immortal.

Mielta is the guy I miss... he immigrated here from Poland with a wife and two young daughters with a suitcase and a dream. He got into the Silicon Valley game, started a business that eventually sold to Cisco Systems for millions... he died of brain cancer. There was a page up for him for a long time and in the picture of when his small start up had sold out he looked like it had almost all been too easy-

He was a good man, great sense of humor and he got me hooked on Embassy Suites and showed me how to properly drink shots of Polish vodka. He was a good man.

If you still have the films all you'd need is a copy of AH2. With the AH2 film viewer you can then save the most memorable moments as .avi files.

His handle was AWMac

Mac was a friend to me when I was neophyte here and we exchanged calls and emails.  Life happened and I was away from the game and the boards for a long time.  Then one night I logged on for the hell of it and saw that he had passed and just absolutely broke down in tears.  He was a really good guy.

To all that have passed  :salute

I used to hang with him and Ramzey when I lived in Los Gatos. We flew a lot, shot guns and of course, was a professional with the bottle. I have a photo of
Jim around somewhere on photobucket along with Agnes.

I attempted to upgrade my PC and Royally screwed the pootch. New graphics card wasnt as "PLUG AND PLAY" as I thought. Had to reinstall everything. Lost a lot of memories that were archived.

Almost as sad as losing a fellow player.  :cry Had you told us right when it happened, a lot may have been saveable.

I didn't know Mieta died. Sad.
