    Reminds me of the video games before all the graphics, even the font choice adds to the overall effect. This must have been a lot of work.

    O, Rick! Btw: I'd like to change the title "Stampedes 'round the screens" into "Stampedes 'round the kids"... How does it sound to your ears and gears? A question to the Question Man!
