"How many times has this happened to you: You're checking your email (be it Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, etc.) and there are 10 spam messages in your inbox. To delete them, you have to check the boxes next to them (total of 10 clicks) before you can click the "Delete" button. Wouldn't it be nice if you could just "draw" a circle around all the checkboxes you want checked and they would all become checked?" - abacab

Short answer: yes. - abacab

Adventure, a video game cartridge for the Atari 2600 video game console, was the first action-adventure video game. It was published by Atari Inc. in 1978, and sold 1 million copies. Adventure introduced the idea of movable objects (represented by visible icons) that could be picked up by the player (using a joystick) and moved from place to place in the game world. It was also one of the first video games to allow the player to explore a large multi-screen game world. As the first action-adventure game, it inspired the current genre of action-adventure video games, including Legend of Zelda, the Ultima series, and many others. Adventure also contained the first Easter Egg (hidden surprise) in a video game, which in this case was the author's signature hidden in a secret room. - abacab

Heh, from http://www.visitmilwaukee.org/media... : "The "This is My Milwaukee" video was created as part of an Alternate Reality Game by Synydyne. It is not associated with any legitimate tourism entity in Milwaukee. While we think the video is clever, we have so much more to offer visitors then just flax seed. And our Historic Third Ward has now replaced the Canning District as one of our must-see stops in Milwaukee." - abacab
