    I got Bobbing Bobcat by watching the kids and only playing it out of the corner of my eye. Read somewhere the other day that peripheral vision is very good at detecting motion, so I tried that and I was faster (both times). Does that class as conclusive proof? :rotfl:

    Maybe its proof of womens multi-tasking capabilities? Try watching the kids, cooking dinner, ironing AND playing the game?:D

    Not conclusive proof - but peripheral vision is faster and works better in low-light though it is monochrome only.

    I find it's the transmission between seeing it, and getting the mouse button to move that takes the time.

    I was joking about the conclusive proof - I don't think me playing a kids game TWICE would stand up to much scientific scrutiny. :rotfl:

    Well I'm just catching up with the day's events, but haven't got time to click on any of your links. Needlesstosay I have no idea what half of you are talking about - Dutch ovens, sprinkler systems, farting in bed, flip the popcorn, Dragons....I'm so out of touch.

    Maz - good point about Spud's kids. Well remembered.

    really....it's not hard to understand :T
