At one point, I had a Mac Plus, and one of the first games I bought was
Falcon, and I have had a grand old time with it.  But since then, I've
gotten a hard drive for that Plus, and have now transferred to a IIcx, and
Falcon has been sitting in my disk box for over a year now.

The problem being that I can't get the program to work off a hard disk.
Instead, I've got to go and turn off my memory cache, and reboot of it's
floppies, and since I have only one floppy drive, I've got to do a little
bit of disk flipping.

Now, I can't see Spectrum Holobyte createing a program that is such a pain
to load up, and I've got to be missing something here.  Any ideas?

BTW:  To make the poster a few messages back feel better, I've never been
able to land that plane.  The runway must be too short.  :-)
