For those of you who live outside the United States, over here, as children we played a kids game called King of the Hill.You probably have something similar. This game is played outside and on a very small hill, so small that only one person can stand on the top of the Hill at a time.

What would be cool is if they could combine the features of jaws and window-eyes to gether, or would that require a rewrite of window-eyes? That would be my idea if I owned VFO. Is that I would take the strengths of jaws and window-eyes and combine them to gether, thus making sure that people had
