Good online bridge news!
Here's an email I got from the MSN Zone today, a site I haven't been on in years. If this means I can get the speed, features, and user community of BBO with a less-garish user interface, I'm psyched! I can't help but wonder if this has anything to do with uncle Bill's frequent partnership with BBO founder Fred Gitelman. By the way, BBO is built with Visual C++, which I used to work on.
