Well, I started playing Ho! on a Mac Plus so long ago I cant even remember
when it was.  Probably in high school (Im 29).  I think I might be looking
at that length of time to hit Ho Champ :)

I didn¹t submit it because I didn¹t remember too many specifics, but Ive
beaten a 102 or 103 game before (not including when the software was in beta
­ I think the AI got better or else I just forgot my ³trick² to winning
really high games).  I think thats worth like 3000 points or so.  I think
its pretty easy to pretty reliably beat a 99 caliber opponent if you pick
the right options ­ as soon as Apple ships my laptop back (sorry, not
playing the Palm version ­ should mention that) Ill post what those are.  I
bet if you figure out how to take out a 105-110 opponent the points would
come pretty quickly.
