It doesn't work. How many more Sierra games do I have to take back before they
finally get it right?  Buying and then returning is not the issue.  The issue
is whether Sierra can create a "keeper" or not.  Look at how many people kept
OUTPOST (the game wasn't finished upon released) in order to get the patch. 
They fooled the public into not returning it (well, almost) and reported sales
as being high. Oh Please.  THat game was crap.  Look at SQ6.  The announcer in
that game is so annoying that it makes people NOT want to finish the game. 
SOmebody DEFINITELY had their head in their rear end by letting that get out
the door.  Anyone else want to add to the onslaught of errors Sierra has made
in the last 2-3 years?  My fingers would cramp before I could type it all. 
Anyone have any comments regarding INN?  That should be a hoot.
