Brian,

I only have the surplus for one game. Not tried others. In the past I 
have gained a whole lot regarding business management from computer 
games, in particular Railroad Tycooon. Resource allocation... once you 
had resource access to girls & beer your life changed?

The warthog mechanic in Afghanistan that I was communicating w/ on my 5 
am mornings has dropped out of site not too long after his mentioning a gf.

Chinese exchange students when they are here in the US put a lot of time 
into WoW... it may help them keep culturally connected to be online 
interfacing w/ other exchange students... and puts a lot of energy into 
the guild politics/resources. When they go back to China they drop out 
of sight.
