Directions in "scientize' are over my MT head. HELP or I blow the whole Corelis out of the Sky. (Just kidding about the sabotage, serious about my lack of qualifications and totally frustrated!!!) Can't someone put it in simple layman's terms so even a numbskull like me has a chance? I read 50 or more posts and saw where people send e-mail addresses for a 'cheat sheet'. If a game is worth playing, one should be able to do so without cheating or give it up. Please Help with some plain talk. NORA

Sorry, didn't mean to offend anyone. Just read (perhaps) too many 'solutions' to this 'booster' & conduit stuff and am more confused than when I started. Everytime I think 'AHHA, SO THAT'S IT!" I try it and nothing. I'll do some more hunting around in here. Just getting so I'm reading more in the hints than I'm playing the game. Most frustrating. Again, I apologize if I've offended. BTW. I think people have asked for solutions to be sent to their e-mail addresses. Not clear on if this has been done for these folks or not. I never said 'you' did such a thing. Nora
