I can speak for myself that while I was growing up we did play like that. Good v Bad guys and all that jive. I would venture to say stroh did too. Look where we are today. Now take someone who probably didn't, who probably lived a sheltered life, someone like say Bill Gates. Now where is he today? Oh wait bad choice, but he still gets picked on. Damn Windows.
Now where was I going with this? Uh....nevermind.
That our little world of make believe wasn't nearly as prosperous as 'stealing' from Gary Kildall and Xerox PARC ?? (who's the nerd now, Uisce!)
