	Me, for one.  =)  I regularly send in my poll card every time I
buy an issue.

	I saw an interview that one of the editors did with Origin on
the subject of Pacific Strike in a past issue of PC Gamer.  I don't 
remember which issue, but it starts with the editor saying, "Gee I guess
there is a lot of people out there that are pissed off at you right now
because of this game, eh?"  (grin)  The Origin guy went on to apologize
and admit that they did a less than stellar job with Pacific Strike.

	Nope...  It didn't bother me one bit.  I tend to wash out
everything when an Su-27 is in my gunsights.  (grin)  Ground attack...
Somehow the ground vehicles always show up on my system prominently 
against the haze because of their dark green or brown color.

	But it is true that it gets annoying after a while.  I don't
want to spend the extra money for the CD ROM edition, though.
