>-Did you like it?
	Yes...  for about one to two hours at a time...
>-How realistic is it?
	The events the user can control are realistic within themselves, 
	  but in terms of a planet itself, we might never know.  =)
>-How good a feeling does it give you for how changes in ecology and
>society interact?
	If this program is truly cause-effect, then it could be used in
	  high scools and colleges (I think I heard that it already is!)
>-Do you recommend it?
	Yes.  Not only for entertainment, but for educational (don't get
	  scared away...!) purposes, too.
>-Other comments?
 	The black and white version is excellent, but once I get a color
	  monitor...  I can just imagine.
>Thank you
	You're welcome.
