That’s why you should implement mixed hamster/cat wheels. The hamsters run from the cats, the cats run after the hamsters. It should improve productivity by at least 117.53% based on a recent study sponsored by the Amarr Health & Happiness Authority (AHHA). ---

Well, Vanguard is off to a roaring stop. Instead of hamster. As it looks like they are a bust. I would like to suggest gerbils. Welp as it is near midnight in my small corner of the world. I will check later when the sun has come up. Nighters all. ---

tried to download vanguard patch: MOST IMPORTTANT STEAM APPEARS TO HIGHJACK YOUR ACCOUNT!! If you do not want a EVE/steam account do not download the VANGUARD patcjh 1. could only do do through the alert window for extended down time. 2. minimizing the window to the task bar seemed to freeze/stop the download. 3. there is an imbedded 3rd party anti-cheat software tat must be enabled at install. This not revealed until you try to start vanguard. 4. lost EVE game client from desktop, after fishing around got client to reappear as two clients both connected now to STEAM. ---
