When did you start weaning your first on a computer? I don't think neural implants are
yet a viable technology so the pedestrian route it is.

Thanks alot. Coming from an expert like you that's a real compliment! There's nothing
that bothers me more than a blatant ad by someone who doesn't know anything about
a game or its impact (and much more importantly doesn't *care* enough to find out) but
uses stupid buzzwords to generate hype:
"L00K -- Crispy mint impossible to find Ultima with a totally REAL moonthing! This
game retailed
for $69.95 and uses state of the art VGA graphics and Adlib sound. Get this TODAY. I've
seen this go for like $200."
Hello! Ultima VI came out over a decade ago! Retail price is irrelevant, and the state
of the
art has improved exponentially since then.
I agree with you about the disorder too. At least it's a happy one, not so much a crack
addiction
but closer to a Ned Flanders belief in an optimistic world.
