Hilly Kristal opened the place in '73 and had trouble drawing a crowd.

After I slipped her the URL, she said, "you bum," only she used another word that means much the same thing. We both knew at once that this would be a very, very bad game. You can find it yourself at popcap.com a four-month-old site that offers a raft of free games, no questions asked. The games aren't downloaded to you but streamed as tiny Java applets to your Web browser. They go away when you close your browser. But why would you want...
