Yes, that's right. Terry, choose your battles, OK? This is a stupid bloaty game that nobody plays even when they can find it. If it were renamed, nobody would find it if they looked for it, which they wouldn't. The two or three of you out there who really care about this game have until the weekend to grab it out of the repository and put it into your vault along with that old Meet the Monkees LP you've been fondly cherishing for all these years. But hey, I've got an innovative suggestion that you might like, if only you'd try it. Go out and *buy* the stinkin' game at your local Toys R Us (tm). Play it the mechanical way. It works, it really does! And you just might find that you enjoy the physical sensation of lovingly caressing those finely sculpted plastic pieces. >From all the heat arising from the removal of this silly thing, I can only conclude that a whole lot of folks have waaaaaay too much free time on their hands. Well I'm not one of them, and the only remaining keystrokes I plan on making in connection with this thing will be "rm -rf boggle" (tm). -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
