You know what's going to happen when the family goes and buys Mom a new monitor?  Dad and the kids are going to hog it up playing games.

It would be kinda interesting to see if it were possible to navigate through Aces High w/o the little plane on the map.  I'd need info on stuff like roads, R/R etc to make it easier.

You'll find that navigating by land masses and using the map in AH or any game for that matter is very easy... the only thing is you need to be navigating from the second your wheels lift off the ground. Identify land masses/marks, coastlines, be sure of your heading at all times and remember where you turned.

I can do it in Forgotten Battles no problem, just have to keep track of where I am at all times...

At the risk of being very un PC....

Does this study indicate that the women in the study needed a monitor more in tue with their own measurements???? After all the eyes are supposed to be the same size between the sexes. There must be SOME other measurement correlation here at work.   :D

No no women and men are completely equal.  All percieved differences are just created by our sexist society.  There are no real differences, it's redekilious.
