 HINTS STRAIGHT FROM THE AUTHOR:
 ------------------------------
 Some people believe that if you aren't the first person to play after
 a reset that you can't win. This is entirely untrue.

 Here's some tips that will be sure to help put you on top.

- When you first start playing, go straight to the alleyway and buy as
  much as you can from the punk. If you get caught by the police don't
  panic, just return the next day and do the same thing.

- After about a week of play, don't use the alleyway at all. It won't be
  worth the effort after that time.
 
- Immediately use the "Pay Board" feature and set your board up as a pay
  board. Don't charge too much right away or you'll never gain the users
  you need to win. A good starting fee is usually $10 - $15.

- When your buying things from the computer store try to buy the biggest
  item you can, even if that means saving your money and returning another
  day. This method seems to slow your progress, but I assure you it is the
  best overall strategy.

- Don't HACK any other board unless another player is way ahead of you and
  you are desperate to catch up. And if you do hack another player, only
  hack the player with the most points. The odds of getting caught are very
  high, and if you do get caught it will cost you plenty!

- Work on your board everyday. Do everything on the menu everyday except 
  purge users. You should only purge users about once a week.

- Read and reply to your mail everyday. Reading is great but if you reply
  you will earn the extra points that you will need.
