I mostly liked it. The big drawback I saw, since I've never used the Mac or IBM version or anything, was that I couldn't tell how much actual time was passing. There is no day or night in SimCity, and even the graphs have no time scale (no vertical axis label either) to tell you what the little dots represent. All you can see is whether something has gone up or gone down recently. -- Tom Lee, "The Lamplighter" BITNET: TAB47@ISUVAX * Central Institute for the Sciences * Internet: tjlee@iastate.edu * Abbenay, Anarres, Tau Ceti or: tab47@ccvax.iastate.edu * * * Gentleness is strength. * * *
