I don't know about the book - the car in my avatar is a Zephyr Zodiac ( a Ford car from the 1960s).
Oh is that where your nickname came from. I've always wondered. I never put the car together with your avi, but then I wasn't born until a decade later. ;)

Im about the same age as that car..I cant remember the exact title but for some reason it reminded me of that book. Buick was in the title- it was some sort of transport machine (living thing actually) to another dimension and it sent weird oddities to earth and killed a few people.

What is bene or benes?
It's supposed to be a rating system. If someone posts something that you find helpful or "bene"ficial then you can press a little button to vote the post as being "bene"ficial. In theory, someone who is helpful and posts a lot of good information will have a high bene rating. Unfortunately, it becomes a popularity contest over on the official BBS and the ratings are meaningless: people that post often (but give bad info) or offer to type out the Prima guide may have high bene ratings even though they haven't really added anything constructive to the community.
Did I help you? Give me a bene. ;D ::)
but if you need the bene button around here you have to take a difficult test that includes questions about elephants prefered sleepeing attire and such. ;)

I learned quite a lot about gameplay early on from the BBS - Pinstar's ghost posts spring to mind and there was a thread on cooking and headmaster bug....
I used search. Now there's a lost art! does anybody EVER search for anything? or read the stickies?
The technical help stickies were also useful when I tried to help people with install problems. As for bugs - I found out they existed and where to go for the real info. Headmaster bug took me to MTS2 then variousimmers then here.

I want the bad button back! Give me nege!
