Oleg - It's a cultural thing. We Americans, for better or worse, have as a whole always prided ourselves on innovation. We say that we come up with all the good stuff, and that the Japanese take it al...

Minesweeper, Right, a slower swing is possible and might be helpful when your vision clears up enough to use it. I like a faster one because it helps me loosen up a little physically too, which is on...
