	This is really unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu, and I'm using a class
account.. (Since the computer my regular account is on crashed a few hours
ago)

	Well, I just called up a BBS in Silicon Valley, and in the
transfer section, they have ULTIMA VI GS! So obviously, someone has written
it!  It is 4 800K disks.. Which could mean two things.. It was written badly
and took up lots of space, or it is simply a very very complex game... I 
think the latter is probably the case.. Isn't the IBM version a few disks??

	Yes, it is obviously a pirated copy.. But as people may know, I
support it as a TESTING OUT concept.. But obviously I'm not going to spend
$20 to download it over the phone! If something's good, buy it. If it's not,
don't.

	I sure hope it turns out to be good...  Hopefully it won't be 
anywhere near as awful as Windwalker GS. [Can you say S-L-O-W and ugly?]

	Just the fact that it exists brings back part of my 'faith' in 
Origin.. It seems they are at least trying to make GS stuff.. with Windwalker
.. and I think they brought out something else for the GS in the past year or
so..  Yes, that probably sounds contradictory since I said how bad WindWalker
was... But at least they're trying... 

	Now if this turns out to be good and we eventually get the PROMISED
Ultima V GS, it'll be great!
