I will say I used to get quite emotional more often playing good story driven games compared to now. Whether that's because of the inferred change, or I've become more cynical and dead inside....who knows (I suspect the latter).

    I loved webrings!! I spent too much time on a Star Wars one. Learned how to meditate, but couldn't quite lift a pencil with my mind. Also learned way too many Ewok and Wookie family lineages that still take up too much space in my brain.

    Definitely ask for how they are using it. I know a number of physicians that are just using it as a dictation software to quickly make a first draft for their paperwork, helps lighten a big load.

    Not A website, but in the early modem days there used to be these things called web rings. When you were done going through one site (usually just a few short pages or a short story kind of deal back then), you clicked the 'next' button and it brought you to another random, related (usually) website. My favorite web ring was the Star Wars ring. Learned a lot of expanded universe stuff, and random fan fiction. There was one site it brought me to that told me how to use the force...still trying to make my beer come to my hand :-)

    My dad paid off his mortgage and owned his vehicles outright. He had been that way for about 10 or 12 years when he tried to buy a small cabin. Even though his finances said he could buy it outright, he tried to get a small mortgage....the banks REFUSED to give him a mortgage. They said he basically didn't have a credit history. Its all made up bull excrement that screws with peoples lives for the fun of it.

    I used Xmind for years and absolutely loved it. Its been a few years since I used it, so not sure what its like anymore. The paid version is significantly better than the free version.
