	Ah, but the latest version of the software should be in by the end 
 of the month.  Look, its fun, though you need to play a couple of games
 so you know where all the switches.  And it is not ment to be virtual
 reality, it is a simulator.

	Have you played????  Battletech has drones, but mostly you play
 against other people.  Live!  And GEnie is not the same.  The Battletech
 center is magnitudes better, because you are in a cockpit, not at your
 kitchen table.  You need the sounds ( Ask then to turn up the sound,
 much better game that way... ) and sights...

	And realtime is not the same as 2400baud.  Not the same at all...
