Hiya Tracy,

Well, I'm neither here or there with them. Sometimes I play a game or three; sometimes I
don't. To each his own. (Shrug.) I can say from experience, though, that "gamers" usually
know Windows and general end-user computing a lot better than their end-user, no-gaming
counter parts. At one company I worked at, my boss took this concept way out of proportion and
wouldn't even consider hiring someone unless he/she was a full-blown gamer. They also
had to extrude main-line geek aspects, such as AD&D (GURPS, War Hammer, D-6 & D-20) in highschool,
sci-fi/fantasy reader, etc. , and they absolutely had to know the names of the bridge
crew of the original Star Trek by heart. Also, if he or she was a hippie dude/chick, so much
the better! :^) :^) :^).

You can say that again, Tracy! (BIG GRIN!!!)
