| I know how you feel. I work in a computer games store and we've spent the

| games to work properly. Not much fun I can assure you.

| I know some of the guys that worked on Baldurs Gate post to this ng so I'd
| also like to use this opportunity to let you know exactly how much this
| sucks and how annoyed the Australian public are when a product is released
| in this condition. I know Australia is not considered a big money-spinner
| compared to other regions of the world but I'd like to assure everyone
that
| works at Interplay and Black Isle that I'll think twice before buying or
| recommending one of your products in future.
