Well, I've been computing for about 15 years now and I sure haven't used 
up the neat toys out there.  Lots of stuff to learn and even more to do.
SA>You buy a kid a new toy, they play with it for a while but 
SA>get far more entertainment playing with the box in which it 
SA>was shipped.  
Can't say as I've ever even touched the box that Duke Nuke-Em 3-D came 
in, but I'm sure enjoying the toy.
BTW, how many programmers do you think there are wandering around that 
could program Duke Nukem?  How many could program MS Publisher or MS 
Works?  I sure don't think the average Joe is going to do it while 
plugging away on a Saturday afternoon.
