	Jet is a nice program but I think with very little work it
could have been a WICKED program.  First off I would like to comment
on a BUG that some one said was in JET.  First off I would like to say
that I have found one BUG in the program.  The book with Jet said that
the AMI-& are long range and the AMI-9 are short range.  While in the
game you can shoot and lock and hit a target at 100 miles with an AMI-9
and the AMI-7 will NOT make it past 9 miles.  (I don't know what is 
the TRUE story.  What is wrong the BOOK or the SOFTWARE?) 

	A few ideas for the next version of the Jet Software...

 (1)    Be able to team up over the modem and fight a target!

 (2)    Have some hills within the Multi-Player mode.
 (3)    Broken clouds! [NOTE: Not like FSII! Clouds that are BROKEN
        up a little.]
 (4)    You have no way of knowing if someone is using GUNS on you and
        hitting you until you are dead!
 (5)    Missiles are to easy to avoid. [It can't be that easy to avoid
        a missile in real life, is it?]
 (6)    Have a few more planes to pick from.  [The MIG-23 would be nice!
        And the JUMP JET would be FUN!]


	One other thing... Some person said that if you pull up very 
hard and then shut down the power on the plane you will just hang in
mid air.  I have tried this a lot of times and I can't get this to happen.
I just stall and fall back to earth nose first.  That brings up another
BUG you CAN'T make the F16 go straight up for ever.  It should be 
able to do this because it has a lot of thrust. 
 


----------------------------END OF JET--------------------------------


	On to my Supra 2400...  I have and love my Supra 2400.  I
paid $250 (Can.) for it.  As I use it on a BBS I would have a lot
of people telling me that they are getting modem noise.  But as no
users have said that Modem noise is a problem I would say that it is
a good buy!  [It was the same price that I paid for my 1200 Volks modem!
And you can play JET and FSII over the modem with my old VOLKS!]


------------------------END OF SUPRA 2000----------------------------- 


	When you multi-task a 3.5'' drive it will slow up well over
700%.  My question is how bad is a HARD DRIVE for this?  I am working
on a software package that will have to do a lot of drive Multi-Tasking
and I would like to know the best way to stop this from slowing down
the system to much.


	Well I put this all in one letter because our Sysops on this
End like it that way and I like my account on this End!
