Oh Contrare Mon Frare...

	Until you have sat in front of a Silicon Graphics ONYX
with a Reality Engine installed, 1GB of RAM and 16GB of DISK
online, stared into the 20" Color Monitor (with resolution that
is specified with scientific notation :-) ) and flown (not played)
the SGI flight simulator you have not maxed the computer based
gaming experience.

	And thats ONLY 2-D! Try strapping on a set of gloves
and image goggles and fly the damn thing in 3-D....
		(You'd wet yourself...)

Never knock a REAL machine...
