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.
