The programming involved in the computer games is really cutting edge and you are right it is an all consuming passion among hardcore gamers, to make the games, bigger better, longer, louder and more headspinning -g- Ben and I were just reminiscing last night, the first computer "game" Ben had was a Sesame Street game that involved a rubber duckie playing in a bathtub that got more elaborate step-by-step, you could put together a nice, long series of things like waterfalls, rapids, and chutes. DOS 4.0, on my first computer, a Packard-Bell 286 with 40 MB memory, brand new in 1990. times have changed. I had the game, mousetrap, that went through a complex series on events in order to trap a mouse....not quite the same I guess -vbg- Who are the bands and musicians that Ben likes? And does he have one of the portable Walkman type Rio players where he can download music from the net and store it on the Rio's 2 Meg flash card and play it on the rio Player?
