What is supposed to happen when the screen says "Darkness falls over you like a heavy piece of ---" or something similar I cannot remember, anyways..it was a little more eloquent. Does this mean I have taken too long? Is the game over? I have just gotten the fruit from the tree and when I walk back that screen pops up...and it just sits there... also...I spilled a bit of Sprite on my keyboard and my 't' is really sticking..what can I do to unstick it?

Hook them under the key, and apply gentle, even pressure till the key pops off. This can e tricky and dangerous for you keyboard so try and find someone who knows how to do it well... then clean away with anything except sprit ;-). ***************************************************************************** * /\ /\ /\ | /~_ /\ __ | /\ /\ /\ The proud and the few. * * /~~\ / \/ \ | \_/ /~~\ | \/ \/ \/ bconnor@hpuxa.acs.ohio-state.edu * ***************************************************************************** bconnor@hpuxa.ircc.ohio-state.edu

I mean, when it dries, it wont utterly and completely destroy my key, will it? I am glad I got your message because I was about to pop the whole machine open...wooo! Thanks. Lima
