You're welcome - I have many more, but I figured that was a good start (and I *do* have work to get done).

Meh - I'm used to the whole spouse of a gamer thing - I have one of those too - he really had *no* idea what it was like to live with a gamer (let alone two, my son is a gamer as well, no idea where he got it from though) but at least he's learning. As in - don't break my concentration to say you're going to bed. I will eventually notice your absence, I might even notice the time and retire for the night. Maybe.

Holy cwap.... both elite and akalabeth are commercial games which have been released to the public as freeware!!

Akalabeth was probably the first commercial game I purchased (it's described as ultima-0 for those who haven't heard of it), and elite sucked up at least 6 months worth of my life :)
