Re: What to do about multiple pcgs/collections of combis

Thanks, Eric:
Yep, Bank management is an art to itself.  I wanted to chime in 
because one can get 1/2 way there w/out a computer.

When I got my Chemistry and Reincarnation, I loaded them into C & D, 
then my F was still empty (or backed up so the MOSS stuff can be 
reloaded).  I just took my favorites from C & D and loaded them into 
spots I could remember easily in F.  Now I have all my favorites in 
F, even if I want to overwrite a factory A combi I can store it in F.

Now, all I have to do is plop in a floppy and save my F.  Put the 
MOSS back in there or whatever.  I'll soon have a good/personalized 
bank (that will only get more complicated with multiple EXBs : )

Hope that give someone a little boost!
WHICH MAKES ME THINK -- isn't there a totally blank bank of Combis 
and Programs out there to download(?).  Have this could make one's 
life easier as well. . it would be a good idea to save a blank Bank.
