...They are not the same as, say, playing card games. Or going window-shopping. Or re-reading old mail. Or going for a walk--not jogging, not power-walking, but just a pointless walk. Or talking with friends in the dining hall for an extra two hours. Or reading Cosmopolitan. Or playing "Doom...
...from the traditionalist's favorite, chocolate, the selection of fudge flavors is remarkably large: vanilla, rocky road, maple, mint chocolate chip, creamsicle, chocolate peanut butter and walnut are a few tasty choices. The ever-ambiguous flavor of the month adds a bit of surprise for regulars. If affecting a cosmopolitan air is a priority, then there's always cappuccino or penuchi fudge.

Not bad, considering 1) the company was in Chapter 11 only 10 years ago; and 2) its products--meat snacks, especially beef jerky...
This is probably not what Bill Gates had in mind when he promised that computers would change the way we live, work and play. Cosmopolitan magazine's new Virtual Makeover CD-ROM ($39.99) may be geared to women looking for a quick, noncommittal way to experiment with their hair and makeup, but it's being sold by Sega Soft as a coed toy. And once America's protogeek sees what a good stylist can do to spruce up his look (those bangs! that pallor!), we're sure it will find a home on his hard drive...
