Oh, great, just what I need, a new distraction: Missle Command.  Almost like the arcade but kind of hard to drag your whole arm across the track ball while laying down a phalanx of missiles.

For all of you mapping geekoids out there, what do you think about Keyhole?  At my last job I used to get demos of this kind of stuff all the time.  The problem with mapping apps is getting beyond the one-city demo.  Sure, cruising around San Fran in 3d technowebclay is groovy, but if someone can't use it for their hometown or a place in the news, then it doesn't have much appeal beyond the initial coolness factor.  I think coverage of the major metros is barely enough for making a demo, much less a long lived product.
