have you read the instruction manual?

Windows has started.
Would you like to play another game?

ok, i guess im not being clear. i mean, the sites like battle.net.... can you play anything you want there? are some sites better than others? is there anything i should look out for? what about ping rates? how do i know what a good one is, and who do i ping?

99% of your games will connect automatically. There is a multiplayer option at the start up screen. Click it, then internet game (generic procedure here, may not apply to every game). Then pick a game to join. Simple.

Another easy way is to use gamespy. <A HREF="http://www.gamespy.com" target="_new">http://www.gamespy.com</A> I believe...

Damn, how'd you remember about the Joe Perry?

Actually, I traded it in for a heritage cherry sunburst Les Paul by Epiphone, and then got a set of Gibson pickups for it. It sounds awesome now. I'm still pluggin away. I don't play with anyone though.

Cool. A CD deal is sweet. Congrats man.
