was playing a head to head with my other half a little while back (null 
modem cable), and we had our crates set to "on". One of them appeared 
right next to my airfield where I had four bikes being built, when the 
fifth one arrived one of them hit the crate and stealthed all of them! I 
thought "you beauty" five stealth bikes, what an advantage (imagine the 
possibilities). Sure enough the great power of the PC processor deemed 
that I had too much power and so my mouse suddenly stopped working. 
Couldn't move, couldn't click, couldn't do anything. Only option 
left...re-boot and terminate the game. What a spew!
