David:
My name is Tony and I live in Houston Texas. I got a big kick out of your Web-page. I'm new to computers. I originally thought they would make good paperweights, until I discovered JezzBall. I've never e-mailed anyone before, so if this works, computers will be adequate for paperweights, impressive for e-mail, and absolutely outstanding for JezzBall.
Of course I don't let my wife know. She works for Compaq and I'm a truckdriver, so this is her toy. I let on that this "toy" is her domain and I want nothing to do with it; except when she's sleeping like right now, and I get happy fingers. Like I said this the first time. I haven't tried to e-mail anyone so I'm curios to see if it works.
I agree with you whole-heartedly that JezzBall can be relaxing and addictive. I enjoyed your tips for better scores, but like you, my scores increased dramatically after I read "Hints".
Your Web-Site is excellent and I commend you for a job well done. The graphics are top notch, and its obvious you have a creative imagination that you've put to good use.
By the way my personal best at the atoms is 2.45 million at level 33. Well I'm gonna try and send this wish me luck. If you get it, I figured out my wives computer and e-mail.

Hi David:
I want to thank you for answering my "first e-mail". The reason you received two that were redundant was that; I thought I lost the first one. I clicked outside the lines, and everything I typed disappeared, great#%*. I just typed for 15 minutes and lost it. So I typed (hunt and pecked) another 15 minutes, and tried again. You got both? Don't ask me why. I was so computer literate with myself after receiving a reply, I had to e-mail Bill Gates and tell him to duck, because Tony was about to pass his butt. And if he can't type more than 4 words a minute, I've got him beat and Microsoft is mine.
Alright enough rambling. You said in your history that a friend of yours doesn't appreciate your page, because it is to active or something. I've heard some similar commentary on this end when friends looked at it, because the "animation makes it so long to download". I said I liked it, sticking up for you, because I do like it. Then I was told I don't count because I don't know computers. After I reminded everyone I know how to e-mail. They bowed and begged forgiveness. I Won!!! You just can't trust some people. They treat their paperweights better than their dawgs.
I would like to say; I feel a little kinship with you. I lived in Port Angeles WA for 5 years, and loved it, but the job market was weak, and I had to move. Eventually ending up in Houston. Talk about the dark side of the moon compared to the Pacific Northwest. I grew up in Winnemucca ,Nevada, so the heat is comparable, but Texas is a different country altogether. A different nation is more appropriate. It's unlike any part of the country I've been to.
I can see staying here another ten or 15 years but only job-wise. Don't get me wrong. It's a great place to visit, or live. Everybody is accepted. The people are polite and friendly to a fault. When a blue-haired lady named Flo says "Good morning yall". She means it. And if you don't reply fast enough, she will kill you.
I'm sorry I get of on tangents and start ramblin. Oh; you asked if you could post that e-mail that's okay with me. Well the tips of my index fingers are about worn of, so I'm gonna close for now.
Bye: Tony
