Some of you will know that since Gruntz came out I have become interested in digital art Well, If you didn't you do now (IdleAl and I learnt Bryce together). A friend and I have started an on line store at one of the 3D Communites where we sell personalised digital jigsaws. We take people's pictures either their art pictures or their photographs and make digital jigsaws for them. We also sell jigsaw bundles - made from our own artwork. Part of the promotion for that is that we have made up a couple of free jigsaws which are on line for anyone to download and do. They only work on a PC unfortunately. They are totally legal in that we purchased software to make them that allows us to sell them and not just give them away as gifts. So, if you would like to try our latest jigsaw you will find it here link to our latest jigsawIts 300 pieces so its not for whimps. If you like that one then you will find our earliest one here slightly simpler oneIf any of you are interested in buying one of our bundles (6 jigsaws and 6 wallpapers) or having some personalised digital jigsaws made then the link is on the download page. But we just hope that people will enjoy playing these two samples.

I am just amazed by the fact that Gruntz has remained as popular as it has. Partly this is because of people like GooRoo who has given so willingly of his time and effort to start this website when we were told the old one would be closing.

Thanks everyone I am just really glad to be home Michial found himself going to the library every couple of days to get me books to keep me going The worst for him was when I told him to come back and fetch me when he had just arrived home (its about a 40 minute drive to the hospital)

Hi guys, sorry it has taken my so long to check on on this post. I suddenly blacked out on Tuesday 13th of June and was taken to our local hospital at Caboolture - which fortunately had just reopened its emergency ward after a long battle with the state government over the need for it. After blood tests it was decided that I had probably had a heart attack although I had had no pain at all and I was kept in their CCU until Thursday when I was transferred to Prince Charles Hospital in Brisbane (this is a really good heart hospital). I stayed there until the next Thursday and was given a host of tests - including an angiogram on the 16th. I told them all that this was not how I had expected to spend my 33rd wedding anniversary. I have to tell you all that although I do not recommend you volunteer for an angiogram it certainly is an interesting experience and I listened quite happily to Beethoven throughout and no-one at any stage said oooops. There was no sign of any coronary heart disease so they decided to do further tests. A CT scan, two echoes of the heart - one of which including them blowing frothy salt water through the heart and two ultrasounds. At the end of all this they found one clot on my lung and a couple in the spleen but absolutely no evidence of a heart attack. So from taking three or four tablets in the morning and two or three in the evening I was discharged with warfarin as the only medication. The warfarin is probably short term three or six months but at the moment the emphasis is on getting the medication balanced which has meant two or three blodd tests every week. I feel fine at the moment but of course no-one knows what caused the bloodclot. Having a "I won't ever touch a computer" husband it was a little difficult getting the news out and it included him phoning a cyberfriend of mine down in Melbourne who then passed on the messages. Of course, the gruntz group is an elite one and there were very few people that my art group know that also play gruntz. My apologies for not getting to you earlier. It was actually very touching as my friend from Melbourne was ringing me every day in hospital to let me know of all the messages that had been left for me. Anyway, I am up and about and feel fine

Dude, like GooRoo I too am sorry that we can't allow yo te remain with this forum. Unfortunately this is one rule we have to abide by. If you have any questions you want answering we all check the Gruntz forum and if that disappears hopefully one of us will be able to help you by email.

But its far better to have fewer active than a lot of inactive members

The nice thing about any forum is the fact that everyone is on different time zones so there will normally be someone checking the posts fairly frequently

I take it GooRoo that you are contacting him to check it out? It would be nice if Kevin thought we were worth keeping in touch with

Jo, we would just like to be kept informed - just so we don't worry too much if you don't post very often. Forums like this become very like families and there are concerns if a member of the family doesn't call in.

Maybe you should tell him to check the disk for viruses and then let you install the game.
