I enjoyed the story by the way, especially the part with the cigarettes and that stiff guy who didn't appreciate the greeting. I remember playing a game as a kid, "Beyond Dark Castle", it was the coolest game ever because you moved the guy with A, S, D, and W, and aimed his rock-throwing arm with the mouse (and hit the mouse button to throw) - so when people got all exited about Quake (where you did the exact same thing, only in 3D), I guess that's nothing to be all ecstatic about... (but that game rocked, too) - anyway, in BDC, if you played that at Christmas Eve, instead of some other detail, which I don't remember, there was a huge, decorated tree! It was so cool because until that point I hadn't contemplated the computer actually would know the current date... As for smoking, some people have the sense of smell to tell if a used computer belonged to a smoker or not. If that happened, I wonder how you would ever get it away? The keyboard can be cleaned of hair, of course... -- underground experts united: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
