Eliott and I have had some of our worst fights over the computer! We're a lot better about it now, but we used to argue over whose project was the more important, or whether I or the both of us were the Archipelago member (John saved the marriage on that one, and managed to keep the friendship to boot! Let's hear it for John's diplomacy skill! Have you ever thought of working for the U.N.?).

Hopefully, you two are just squabbling over rec time. It can get really ugly if it's over anything more important. We plan on getting another Mac within the year, finances willing. El even conceded to my getting the faster, newer one (now it's in print so all of us can hold him to his promise!).

One tip: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES GET THE GAMES "STRATEGIC CONQUEST" OR "CIVILIZATION!!" Eliott is so addicted to BOTH of these, and he'll stay on the computer for HOURS ON END playing them!
