I don't think I'll be playing this because I found a free online MTG program. It seems to work well, but I haven't played against anyone else (just the solitaire version to test it). If anyone is interested, it's called "Magic Workstation." The URL for it is http://www.magic-league.com/download/magic_workstation.php and you can find all cards ever released. There is a walk through and all sorts of goodness. If anyone gets setup and wants to play, let me know.

I dont think Ill be playing Magic anywhere---because spare time is now a foreign concept.

Well, I downloaded the software. Now the pain in the ass part. My "wish-list" for my black deck was on my laptop, which has since gone south. Now I have to rebuild the damn thing. Oh well. I'll eventually get your IP and hook up with you, Ben.

Sweet -- just lemme know then.

Holy pictures! I'm downloading the full pics of the cards. I'm about 2/3 done and it's nearly a gig already! Otherwise, it looks pretty sweet so far. Now I just need to remember what I'd put in my black deck.

Yeah, i wasn't worried about the pics - i don't need them. Not that i don't hvae the space, but i just don't care enough yet. Maybe once i'm sure i'll be playing often, but who knows when i'll feel confident that that will happen?

I just set it up to run overnight a few nights. I think it ran for like 4 days or something (their server is slow as hell!). Total size of the pics...1.12GB! Not too bad, considering storage nowadays, but still. I just know I'd go insane without the pics.

Well, I'm off Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, so maybe we can hook up one of those days for an online game (if I ever get my black deck set up).

Best bet is to call my cell to setup a time - i'm going to "hopefully" be doing lots of studying this weekend if I don't shoot myself in the foot with the whole Jenny thing. But, eh, we'll see. If i have the time, i'd love to play. Just give me a ring-a-ding-ding.
