Great points and thanks for the warm welcome to the forums!
I can see why you say that "it's a bit odd". Since we're completely different people I have to try to paradigm shift to what my world may seem like to another person after only a few sentences in meeting for the first time :-)
Well, suffice it to say that LauchBox is not high on my priority list as a must make purchase as opposed to food, gas, etc etc. I only spend on average 1 day a week gaming on my pc anymore as I am trying to get outside more and appreciate more of what my life has to offer. LaunchBox looks so great and BigBox looks like the route I want to take.
Anyway, thank you for rolling out the red carpet here and making a newcomer to these forums feel the love!
