VETTE! may be played by modem as well.

My question is just an opinion question. I'm interested in seeing if anyone
else feels the way I do about this:

Why must a person own TWO copies of either falcon or VETTE! (both spectrum
holobyte games) in order to play it across a network or modem? In my opinion,
we should be allowed to play with the same copy. If you have a friend over
with a mac, and want to play against him/her for a couple of hours, you 
shouldn't have to shell out the bucks for a whole 'nother game. A compromise
that would be acceptable to me would be to ship these games with a "slave"
copy, that could only be played when it detected its "master" (with the
same serial#) on either a modem or network. 

Well, enough complaining for now. I thouroughly enjoy both games, by the
way, if anyone from SH is reading.
