Yep, it has indeed changed, though about 8 years ago! Now flies to Heathrow Terminal 4.

Bloody hell time certainly does fly, it probably was about that long ago since I went with BA out of Baltimore, the last few times it's been Philly. Though BWI is a much nicer airport IMO.

I think you'd like living in MD. It's a pretty small state but it's beautiful. Nice access to the beaches during the summer and fantastic seafood around the harbor. Phillips Seafood Restaurant and Legal Seafood are fantastic. You're about 2 hours from DC but you can hope on Amtrak or the Marc train if you want to get there. You should take the train there for a short weekend if things start getting serious and take a look around. Oh and you are also very close to Philly as well. This is the southern tip of what we call the Bos-Wash Megalopolis Corridor.

i have no idea why the word 'PHONE' is underlined on my pc ?

I delivered to Kansas City about a year ago , but over the river and the time on my phone changed as I drove through the city :ohmy: ... WIERD OR WHAT :ohmy:

Cant remember the company name I went to, but then i drove the entire length of route 56 into New mexico, very boring :zzz:

I'd definitely call that weird seeing as I'm a couple hundred miles away from the the East and Mountain time zone markers. I wonder if you changed to Sprint. KC is where they are headquartered.

Oh I bet you thought KC sucked too, lol.:p

Re: Hunt Valley, MD?

You are right it should have changed 2 states previous but stayed on eastern time all the way from NYC over night.
I remember the situation because I had till 12.00 noon to make the delivery or loose a lot of money, I was 5 minutes late as I crossed the river and then the change showed giving me 55 extra minutes ;)

There is also one in DC, which has some game developers but also has a lot of what is called 'serious gaming' (aka military simulations) which is a pretty huge business.

I usually check out gamedevmap.com

IGDA can be hit and miss, plus I can't afford the membership...you in the industry then?

And the military games stuff, need citizenship usually for those government contracts, had one place checking me out for a gig up around here and the FBI came by to do a check to see everyone working on the project was a yank...not that it mattered as a couple months later, they've just gone bump themselves, shame, nice tech.
