 LJ> Completely.  My kid uses it, so I speak from experience.
  Great!  I just hope I really can find it, which may be hard since it's 
ee.
 LJ> I have a modem in my office.  Others have ISDN.  No network-wide access
 LJ> yet.  I call up on my own account, which my wife and son also access 
hen
 LJ> I'm not using it.  I also have a CIS account.
  No network access or T-something access?  That sounds odd seeing as how 
you've released two "so-so" games (ROTT and TV), one super-huge game (Duke 
3D), and are about to release another which has a lot attention already 
(Shadow Warrior).  This isn't even considering the umpteen Build-engine 
licenses, however mundane they may have been.
  My (hopeful) access may be a bit special too, since I'd be accessing my 
father's network.  Free e-mail and Web storage!  And unlike other ISPs, it 
wouldn't be nearly as flooded with users.  Since this would mean I'd be 
playing multiplayer games a lot, you guys better do a good job with DNF 
multiplayer play!
  By the way, are there any screenshots of DNF beyond that animation?  I know 
you want to keep it secret, but unless it makes Quake II look a bit weak by 
comparison, it would do some good.
  I know Prey looks good, based on the PC Gamer I just got today.  Finally, a 
view of what that whole "portal technology" can do!  Though I suppose some of 
the teleports in Shadow Warrior were a bit of a clue...
 LJ> Lo Wang does not do karaoke.
  So is it a song (supposedly) done by Lo himself?  I'll get this out of you 
someday...
 LJ> I don't know.  I'd rather buy out id and Ion Storm, 
 LJ> then put Tom to work on
 LJ> another Keen game, if I had as much money as you suggest.
  Can't you just talk to Tom yourself?  Bring along "The Dopefish" as an 
influence.  :-)
  Anyhow, given the kind of game you want, that Croc game may be interesting. 
 Think Mario 64, but even nicer-looking.
 LJ> Fnord.
 JF> Is that a yes, no or maybe?
 LJ> It's a fnord.
  Well fnord you, pal!
