    [​IMG] My wife and I are relocating to San Diego, CA from Birmingham, AL. We are moving the first week of November so we have really started packing everything up. I took a few games I am playing right now; BGI, SimCitty 3000:Unlimited and Riven and kept them to the side. I told my wife I am keeping some software out on the desk to play until we pack the computer up a few days before we move and not to pack it up. I even said please.
    So guess what got packed up? I foudn SC3 and Riven, but I can't find BGI!!! I think I have gone through every box labeled, "software" "office" "computer" "desk" [*] :bang:
    Uggghhhh!

    Better yet, go out and buy yourself a new game, and subtract the cost from her shopping allowance.

    I bet that'll get results. :)

    [​IMG] Sometimes these "lost" items will turn up several years later, in a box labelled "books" or "baby clothes". Keep looking. :)

    Have you considered that your games may have been "lost"? How much time, exactly, were you spending playing them?

    On a side note: Back when I used to move furniture, I was moving a couple when I noticed there were boxes in the basement, labeled by a moving company, and already packed. They told me that they "never finished unpacking everything from the last move, about 10 years ago". I'm not talking about one or two boxes of books, there were at least 30, labeled "dishes", "bathroom", stuff like that.
