Ha! Gotcha. Fallout 3 is the game that keeps giving more and more. I've taken a little hiatus this past week while I work on Tiger Woods for the Wii, but the onboard Chronomoeter says I've got almost 40 hours invested in gameplay. That's not counting reloads :-) Give me a shout off-list if you want to compare specific notes. I've just barely stayed on the main quest- the side quests are really where your character development comes from. Patrick
