rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sheepdog - When my tour operator booked us into the Grace, rather than using the airport hotel, I wondered if the modest journey into the city was worth the hassle. We were only passing through Jo'burg, on our way to Botswana. I'd used the Sun Intercontinental at...

Trackwords Vocabulary Building Game: This is too good to be free, gratis, pro bono

Mon, 28 Aug 2000 13:18:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sheepdog - Okay- I admit the game won't allow "pro bono" as a word, but if you want to have free fun building your vocabulary, then give this a try. Or just free fun. I know programs you have to pay for that are not as well crafted. You only have to...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sheepdog - There are two good authors named Follett. While Ken has become better known, don't overlook James.

Sun, 20 Aug 2000 11:44:42 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author sheepdog - If you take the trouble to master this game, I suspect that it will absorb you for hours. Like chess, the rules can be learned much more quickly than you can exhaust the possibilities they create.
