Good question. So I'll answer it with another question. I'm not a gamer (at all) but I admit to being tempted by Spore. It's a simulation of evolution, good but not entirely success in its recreation from what I've read. It also seems to have been trashed by the gaming community but from what I gather, it's because they find its anti-copying features too bothersome (or perhaps too difficult to defeat). Does anyone have any experience with it? The NY Times has an article on it here: http://tinyurl.com/46pces And the official Spore site has an amusing video flogging it here: http://www.spore.com/ Stephen ----------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen L.
