LOL! When my dad was in high school, he'd been out late drinking so he wanted to sneak in at my grandparents' dairy without waking anyone. Well, being the Oregon coast, it rains a lot and that night the road up to the house was flooded and he'd make too much noise trying to speed through it, so he decided to just take a nap and try before sunrise. The area bordered on state forest land and rose up into thick forested hills. Anyway, he dreamed that there was a big full moon rising over the hills and in its light he could see a bigfoot quickly approaching him down the road! He woke up with his heart racing and glanced up to see a big full moon rising over the hills! He decided he'd rather get a thrashing from my grandpa than spend a second more out there! Hearing that story, anytime we'd be camping and I'd hear brush rustling and rocks being knocked off the hillside, I was sure it was a bigfoot and would stay in my tent, even if my bladder was needing emptying!

LOL! Jungle or Arctic- lose limbs to flesh eating fungus or to frostbite?

True- and I have to admit, I'd much rather slog through our forest, where there aren't any poisonous bugs and snakes- I think that would have been the thing that would have made me freaked out in the jungles, more than the risk of being shot by the enemy!

It is an interesting diversion- we're all used to what a "forest" is in our area, but often don't know what's typical in another- and I definitely find myself thinking of something different than what would be in various parts of Europe!

That's for sure! I'm from Oregon and I always thought about how they were worried the Japanese would invade, just after Pearl Harbor, but they'd have had a rough time trying to make it through the Coast Range then the Cascades!

I'm thinking the vast majority of CMBB users- the ones who would buy CMC- are likely to be still using XP and I don't believe CMC is likely to draw in many new CMBB users- even if it was Vista compatible. We're a small group that is happy with our old stuff while most people are constantly running after the newest and shiniest things to come out. I'm sure if it came down to making CMC and leaving it and CMBB in XP and losing a portion of sales because of that, or going to the time and expense of updating CMBB to Vista to cater to the small fraction that switched to the OS, then I'm sure it required no thought. If they felt that it would only sell enough if they did the swith to Vista, I'm certain they'd just choose not to even bother making CMC. The gain from all that work would be far too little to be worthwhile!
