I'm glad to hear that. I too am almost cured. Of what turned out to be a, no joke, an incredibly expensive addiction. I was spending money like crazy on books, books, tapes, exhibits etc. Even dabbled briefly, very briefly (about 20 minutes to be exact) in HIttite in order to understand this era. But I too have gotten fed up with the same, old same old as the current wheeze goes. Between the plagues, the endless coregencies being proposed and disposed of, the did Akh die of Marfan's syndrome, spinal bifida or terminal dandruff. Then add to that the fact that I spent something like 150 bucks on the Boundary stela and another 50 bucks of some papers that didn't tell me much more than I already knew and then I knew it was time to quit.
Unlike you though I've becomne much more of a BB archeologist, I can't even afford the armchair anymore. Since then I've moved up to the Greeks and have started rebuilding Hero of Alexandria's machines, since I've got a small machine shop sitting idle and have discovered an entire new world ancient technology. These guys were supergeniuses and I'm not joking. You name it from syringes to flush toilets they anticipated or built some variation of everything that we're using today.
I know I'll never be truly cured. I just have to pick up the Amarna letters and I'm right back there in Amarna wondering what Akh is doing or thinking etc. So what have you discovered in the Old Kingdom?
