I mean, I did waste some time with Pac-Man when it came out, and there are a couple others that would come to mind if I thought hard enough on it. And an old friend of my was a game designer, with numerous titles to his credit. So while I am not totally unaware of computer games and gamers, there's a generation gap between us on that point, at least. I never got into that stuff, and had other interests. My son pretty much wore out my old Commodore Amiga 64 playing games on it. He was about 10 at the time, and imagined that pounding harder on the keyboard and mouse were the same as hitting a ball harder in the "real world"; in any case, computer games got him interested in computers generally, and he went on to run the IT department at the university where we both attended (though in different decades). And I know that computer games led to many more practical developments; without gamers, for example, our computers would probably still have 80 mb hard drives with 256k RAM (or something like that), and we would all be using dial-up to access the Internet. What I don't understand is why gamers don't develop more games in Linux, or at least make them cross-platform. I suppose there are licensing issues, but I would think Linux geeks are creative enough to find ways to make games that blow away Windoze and Apple versions. Bill
