Uh, I'd personally be up for something this summer maybe? (Time to plan, time
to save, time to BUILD) I don't know how much I'd have to offer the
technical side of it (Math makes my brain itch) but it would be great to meet
other folks.
As for voice over IP, there's a software package from (shudder) M$ called
Gamevoice that offers voice connectivity. Not great and you have to have a
MSN Messenger account but it works. I use it when I play MechWarrior4
online.
Thanks!
