I used to like the way the car sank down.  The suspenders were kool.

I loved Formula One GP.  Prob is, my joystick doesn't stick at all to my new 
computer desk.  It's got a funny grainy surface.  No good when you're pulling 
back HARD to slow VERY late into a tight hairy pin!

I hear the new Power PC's are gonna be based around the old Amy DOS systems.

I'm going to, sometime.  I'm in no hurry, and will just see what the markets 
doing for a while.  I did that with the A12oo - gave it 18 mths to see what 
was going down before splashing out on such a system.

The market never recovered :-<

Prob with PC's, unlike Amy, is they're outdated soooo fast.  And I hear 12 
speed CD ROMs are coming next year.

I never got around to playing any games!  The last one I got into took over my 
system for a week (Settlers).  It's now in a long cooling down period.  All 
one saw when one closed ones eyes, were billions of little dudes cutting down 
trees and carting merchandise around!!!

Read ya soon...
