not so newby

arabanak · 07-17-2007, 02:44 PM

Hello all, Im retired and living in Costa Rica. Ive been in computers since about 1979 when I took my first computer course at a Radio Shack in San Bernardino Calif. Im not really a super techie, but consider myself above the common user. I have worked as tech support for a software company and am said to have saved them millions of dollars by alpha testing their software. Have also worked telephone tech support as a supervisor.

I am 64 years old, and have lived in Costa Rica for 3 years. I have been thru many on-line games, starting with EQ and most recently WOW. I find most of the games today are group oriented and I prefer to Solo play. So I have been playing Diablo II LOD off-line. I still find it exciting after many years of playing.

If any out there know of a good Solo game, send me a message.
