I don't understand.  What is it about the Amiga market that makes
non-installable the option of choice, but key-disk the one for the IBM
market?  Why not at least make an HDable/keydisk version for the Amiga,
too?  Are we _such_ clever theives???  [on the other hand, the
HD-decision is actually fine by me, since this game seems destined for
my wife's 386 instead of my 2000.]

As a side note, when will the IBM version be out [or is it already?,
although I haven't see it anywhere yet].
