  A pet question of mine.  Do you guys actively play other companies' games 
much?  It would almost look heretical for the 3D Realms crew to be caught up 
in a furious Quake deathmatch.  I know, you and id aren't exactly at each 
other's throats, but it would still look odd.  It would be the same if 
everyone at id played Duke 3D during lunch hour (if they ever stop long 
enough for that).
  Actually, something I AM wondering seriously about is if you guys have 
tried out the Quake Rally patch.  Quite frankly, I'm impressed, even if it 
isn't 100% complete.  The Quake engine wasn't designed in the slightest for 
racing games, and yet here you have cars that skid out (in a trail of dust) 
and roll if they hit a wall the wrong way.    Maybe these guys 
should get hired by 3D Realms to do a Death Rally 3D project!
  One last thing... how's Shadow Warrior coming along?  I understand you guys 
hope to get in-the-box 3DFX support, though 3DFX is doing most of the work 
for that.  When could a Canadian who ordered in late June expect his 
direct-ordered copy to arrive?  I know August is most likely, but when?
