        I figure its like modern games like Diablo.  They have deleted
        alot of hacking doors now with their updates.  Otherwise new
        versions just adds to hacks and cheats.  At least with new
        anti-cheating methods (like me and Mark outlined) it'll be
        a year or two before they can be cracked :)  But it'll be
        a fun true year of gaming :)  But glad its up there on the
        list ..:)  Same girl..making her a honest woman? :)

        Good to see the progress...
