I respect your and Br d's opinion of the game. It just sounds horribly boring to
me and the time that I played the free version for a couple hours (okay most of
that time was trying to get the damn thing installed) it was far more like work
than fun. Being a software engineer, reading technical manuals and struggling
with bugs is gosh darn work, not my idea of hobby fun! As you said,

Opinion may and will vary. =P
