From someone I sort of know on another NG: * * * I can confirm most of what was reported earlier, being Greek and all... The only lie is that there were fines (except if there was illegal gambling involved). The whole thing started as an attempt by the government to stop illegal gambling. A few months ago someone could go to an arcade room where he could play arcade games like Ridge Racer or Street Fighter and things like that. The thing is that the owners of such places had placed switches in the arcade machines that could switch the software from say, Street Fighter to an electronic form of slot machine and take bets. The government couldn't find a way of stopping that, so they decided to ban all forms of electronic games "in public places or any other place". Of course what they did (even if they didn't mean to), was to ban all computer users from playing games even at home. There's no way that someone will get arrested for playing computer games at home of course, but that's what the completely and utterly idiotic law says! Manos * * * Just a case of bad wording, as it turns out :-) Pat. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

They are pretty evil those 60 year old grannies, you know ^_^ Tsunami

How about this one: http://www.startribune.com/stories/1576/3212895.html I was quite shocked when a recent poll was released showing the MAJORITY of Brits wanted to leave for either the US or Spain, (with the vast majority choosing the US.)
