Yes, I have; in fact, I own a copy of it. It's a light to medium game in terms of strategy. I was intrigued by the "move backward in order to move forward" mechanic. It's a good game when you have a lot of people (will play up to 6) and don't want to spend more than an hour or so on a game.

So women are leaving IT: big deal. Why is it a concern when women leave a particular segment of the workforce? All long as the work is getting done, who cares? The hype on "women's issues" is a politically correct fad. For example, breast cancer. It seems that a week rarely goes by without some mention of breast cancer on the news, especially on the airhead morning news shows. What about prostate cancer, testicular cancer, etc.? You don't see guys running around sticking prostate-cancer ribbons on everybody, but woe to the one who refuses a breast-cancer ribbon. Come on, ladies. Get over yourselves!

The college I work for participates in VITA/TCE (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance/Tax Counseling for the Elderly) program. The public can show up and have their taxes done for free as long as it's a typical 1040 regular or EZ type of return. Check with the IRS or your local college for more info.
This is the second year that I've used it, and I've been very satisfied. They even e-filed it for me.
