    Bob and Sunshine,

    If you set up an iGoogle account it allows you to customize your page and add different things. PacMan is one of the gadgets it allows you to have. Fun way to pass the downtime :)

    Multidisciplinary- I only got 46, and I'm an Eagle Scout! It's been a while, but I forgot that there's pretty much a badge for everything.

    My favorite arcade game is the original NBA Jam. I was always Shaq and Penny, or Charles Barkley and Kevin Johnson. Mortal Kombat was pretty groundbreaking when it came out, too.
