Santulli Slant: I'm happy to report that I've actually met Sid Meier and "pitched" my idea for a sequel to this fantastic piece of software. It's called "CPU Rock", and it allows you to compose various speed metal tunes in a similar fashion to CPU Bach's classical pieces. You'd choose how much electric guitar, screaming, and cow bells you use, and let the program take over. Mr. Meier seemed entertained by the idea though I can't help but wonder if it was he who had security guards escort me out of the building moments later. As for the game, it's a fantastic program that engages your creativity, and you don't have to know a lick about music. [Gr: 7, So: 10, Ga: 4, Ov: 8]
