Any mention of Jim in the book? Sincerely,              his role is vastly overrated these days imho. he might have been semi known       in the usa, but even there - lets be honest - teenagers who want to play       video games couldnt care less :) outside of usa he wasnt really known at all       (nor his books). i've never heard or seen his name before the internet era       :)              --              http://www.hitmen-console.org http://magicdisk.untergrund.net       http://www.pokefinder.org http://ftp.pokefinder.org              "Mein Auto.
