I haven't had a chance to look at Asterix yet.  Rapport isn't shipping
yet.  I saw a demo of it a while back, but they wouldn't let me drive,
so I'm not sure how much was real and how much was smoke and mirrors.  

I do know they've missed a couple of promised ship dates so far.  But
then, haven't we all?
