First, to Jo Jaquinta:
I have failed to compile sysgen using turbo C and a 286PC (actually
a 2286 bridgboard -- Ami people will know the difference). Perhaps
if I were not such a tyro with computers, I would be more able to
spread the good news. Everything I've heard about Sysgen is good.
Maybe Carl would put it in compuserve or genie or wherever he is
for you?
Second:
In yesterday's Portland Oregonian (daily newspaper) was an article
abouut a lady who was in a Piper Cub in Easter Oregon. (This is
a 2-person airplane with a 65hp engine (sorry, I don't convert HP
to KW on the fly)-- the people sit tandem.) The pilot, her dad,
died while they were flying. She said a rosary while talking to
the ghost of her dad, who told her what to do to land the plane.
She has had no flight training.
She succeeded and landed well.
This is a *real* feat. Even for those of us who know how to fly
small planes. ---You can't see anything out of the airplane
from the back seat!--- no view of the runway, no altimeter, no
airspeed indicator, no turn and slip indicator, no compass.
Now - would you buy a character pulling this stunt in a game?
And you thought triangular jump grids were wierd...
