	Wow!  320x200x256 graphic mode!  Gee whiz, I say we should forget
it, guys.  There is no way our pitiful GS can do graphics of such high
resolution... (Read: with heavy dose of sarcasm).  And oh boy, hard disks,
what is that?!  Is that the 3.5 X 3.5 inch diskettes enclosed in hard plastic?

	It's the sorry attitude to companies Origin (unfortunately) that
really makes me mad...  But my gaming dollars just go to someone else...
