Chicago, Astronomy & Astrophysics Lines: 14 I have an ancient battered copy of that book. I found it in a used-book store. One thing I notice about playing Monopoly now is that the games are much MUCH shorter than when I was a kid. Then they could last all week, now it's just an hour or two. I think the difference is partly attributable to not hoarding the cash but spending it all on properties. (And partly to the lack of a Fre Parking jackpot!) I don't think monopoly by email is practical. Too many players and too many turns per player. _____________________________________________________ Matt University crawford@anl-mcs.arpa Crawford of Chicago ihnp4!oddjob!matt
