Hi Don,

are you member of the anonymus gamers :-) ?

I agree to your answer, - in principle but not absolutely
Yes, it is a waste of time and yes, finally there is nothing that remains.

On the other hand, why not doing something absolutely senseless?
Mankind does that all the time, at least...

And I have three children and my cube is the fastest machine over here.
And sometimes they are allowed to play on dad's machine (that's an 
honour for them too), of course no shooting. But modern games need a 
lot of power - in any category. That's my impression.

Therefore I shall only keep in mind your suggestion for the next time 
(but by heart! :-) )
I don't mean that ironically, but with a smile!

Thanks
Stefan
