I dunno, let me check the headers on your posts and see if you're using an approved mail client. ;^)

I'm in the same boat - I like the gee-whiz of games, but don't actually play them. My brain was engrossed with Asteroids, Pac Man, Dig Dug & the like in the early 80's, modern games are too confusing - I can't for the life of me "enjoy" an X Box game if the gameplay involves anything more than steering around a course at speed, or shooting at mindless enemies...

My 9 year-old, on the other hand plays these games with great ease...
