I'm not overly impressed with the demo.....but am still tempted to spring 25 
bucks for the full game.  I'm looking for something not too taxing (i.e., a 
game that's not like having a full-time job).

I'm also having some control problems with my stick.  Not sure if it's 
Evochron or the stick and associated software.  Course I guess I could just 
play it FL-style, with the mouse/keyboard.

Maybe I should get back to Vegastrike.....I haven't checked that one out for 
a long time (still got a decent save somewhere).  I could also install UC 
(still in the shrinkwrap after a year or more).  Didn't install it before 
because (1) I couldn't really work up the enthusiasm necessary to tackle it 
(went with X3 instead...another less than satisfying experience) and (2) 
read somewhere it doesn't work with XP SP2 w/o some screwing around with 
various files.

Whatever happen to Elite 4?  Alt.fan.elite seems pretty dead these days. 
Has everyone decided that Elite 4 is simply not going to happen?
