Hi Tim, Actually that is not exactly a bug in my Monopoly game. It is more of an egg. I was actually trying to stop people from using the alt f4 to close the game as it is not designed to be closed that way. Unfortunately it does interfere with the alt tab thing. But I really do not write m

Hi, Yeah, I have seen those around as well, bubt only once and a while. Here in the states you have to go to a place that specialises in toys and puzzles to get those kind of puzzles. I haven't seen any at major chain stores like Wal-Mart or K-Mart. Though Toys Are Us may have them. I'd have to

Hi Thomas, That's exactly the problem! There's really not much fun stuff for a blind person when away from the PC. All my friends are complaining that that's all they get from sighted people for Christmas, iether music, clothing or audio books, and let's face it, for me at least I can only liste
