    Wow, I remember way back to my youth, I'd loose all sorts of productive time in college.

    Now I get to loose productive time as an adult. At least I'll get paid this time.

    Hopefully, this edition will have the Amulet of Yendor in it.

    Just divide the number of people who download the latest version of this game by the number of valid IP's on the internet and you can figure out exactly what percentage of people on the planet earth won't be contributing to the world's "population" problem ;-)

    When are the people over at Nethack going to realize that this feature bloat is completely destroying the product? Have you looked at the latest release.txt file? A new Win32 GUI, control-P for a full screen message...

    And at a size of 1.1 MB?!?!?! How am I supposed to download that on my dialup connection?
