I love how when the ship sails near the dragon he blows fire. Very cool indeed.

My ship sank...dragon caught the sails and rigging on fire. You could see all the tiny little crew members jumping over board before it went under.

The theme is, indeed, called Old World--back before I thought to use it for Columbus Day. =) Then I realized it seemed good for Columbus Day, so it's the Columbus Day theme. But I liked it so much, I decided to put it up really early. It'll be around for a couple of weeks. ;o)

Wow, Canadian Thanksgiving and celebrated Columbus Day on my birthday. ... When I was a kid/teen growing up outside of Dallas, I could never celebrate on my birthday weekend in Dallas because the Texas/OU football game was at the Cotton Bowl at the Texas State Fairgrounds downtown ... WAY too much traffic and partying. Meant I could not go to my fav restaurant. :( But, you know Cdn Thanksgiving and Columbus Day would not have caused so much traffic! Or partying. Oh well... at least, I usually got my birthday off or nearby. They SAID it was for Columbus Day, but I knew better ...
Regarding the theme, it is pretty cool. The boat moving is interesting. Like the dragon a lot. Mostly, Ryan, I like the changes! Never know what to expect.
I also like the new features. As I have played with it, I have found some things I wanted, but had not asked. Cool!

Ok, since you are at the computer store, have the tech there install Internet Explorer 8.3. Also, make sure he has installed Vista Service Pack 3, that fixes a lot of the known issues in Vista Service Pack 2. Finally, if those things don't work, you may need to go up to a higher level of Video Card... I suggest the nVidia 6502, with 3 terabytes Video Ram, that works for me.

Oh gosh, Katiebug! I really hope you're pulling our leg on this one!!
If not, please take a look at gullible in the glossary.
(If so, well done! I've fallen for something again - and we really should think about adding my pic to the definition!)

So is that ship one of Columbus' or is it the Dawn Treader, right when they were encountering the Sea Serpent?

The Old World Theme is great. We especially like the fellow up in the crow's nest. The occasional glint of light off his spyglass reminds us of the gleam of green light at sunset at Key West.
