just donated $30, can't wait to get my DVD...had to uninstall the game, so I'm excited about reinstalling all the best stuff from the STEX.

If you bet on the Cardinals, I can only hope you took them with the points, in which case you won (the line before the game was Pittsburgh -7 in most places). If you bet on the Cardinals to win straight up, all I can say is "wow". I picked the Steelers to win (although I didn't bet on the game), and I think they are clearly the better team. I do think the officials had a bad game. A couple of the penalty calls against Arizona were pretty bad. And that last play sure looked like an incompletion rather than a fumble to me. To not even do an official booth review is ridiculous. Very exciting and memorable game, that's for sure. Larry Fitzgerald is just incredible. Oh, and to Santonio Holmes, let me say what most fantasy football owners are thinking: "Where the HE|| were you during the regular season?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"

Hey Paradiso. I had issues with the NAM as well - every time I would connect a highway between two cities, or connect a highway to an avenue/road/street/anything...my game would crash. I uninstalled the NAM, downloaded the new NAM (updated very recently), reinstalled it...and it works in a new region. When I go back to my old region (which was created using the old version of NAM) it still crashes. Fortunately I had not gotten very far in my old region so I have decided to just start a new region from scratch. But this is obviously not a perfect solution.

Slightly off topic to the original post...but relevant to De Ja Vu's post...if you need lots of money there is a park you can plop that gives you some ridiculous amount of money (like $4 million or $4 billion, I can't remember).

I don't know about "needlessly". Personally I wouldn't consider going...too far, too cold, too many people, etc...but who am I to judge people who feel like they need to be there? This is certainly one of the more historic events of my lifetime. And unfortunately, security is a way of life in our society right now. Lot of crazies out there.

Also, good to see the Republicans getting an early start on the complaining.

I live out in Virginia, about 45 minutes from DC (and that's with no traffic) and we're not sure what to expect out here. Town and county officials are preparing for the worst (traffic, etc) but it might all be sort of a big drill...won't really know until tomorrow. One thing's for sure...won't be driving anywhere tomorrow!
