Text based you say? Interesting that there is absolutely no mention of that on
the site that I could find. Explains the lack of screenshots I guess.

No, Elite on the PC: 49K. If you want the one that shipped in 1987 for
the PC, with EGA graphics and beeper sound, that is.

Just when you think you've seen the limit of stupidity, a stupider
spammer comes along. 

Hmm.  Is "stupider" a word?

If it isn't, then it probably can't be the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Apparently, the SciFi Channel over here is showing the new "Dr. Who"
series.  The other day I caught the last 10 minutes of an episode, and I'm
still finding it difficult to get used to the idea of "Dr. Who" with actual
special effects.

Has anyone heard from br d? Not to be indelicate, but I was curious to hear
his thoughts on the, err, W**** C**. But maybe he still needs a little more
time?

Yes it did, after 27 seasons (sometime in the 80's, when Sylvester
McCoy was the Doctor).

There was a TV movie produced by Fox, in 1996 IIRC, which
started Paul McGann as the Doctor.  That was the first new piece
of "Doctor Who" in a decade or so. (not counting books and
audio series).

It just started back up again last year on the BBC, with a new
Doctor (Christopher Eccelston).  He was already replaced a year
later by David Tennant, who is the current Doctor.  It's going pretty
strong and has been commisioned for a new series (the 3rd of the
comeback) next year.

SCI-FI has only shown the first comeback season, the 2005 season
with Eccelston.  But they will probably pick up the next series that
just finished showing in the UK about 2 weeks ago.

You can see more about the new series on the official BBC site:

True, but there have been re-runs of the old episodes on Sky Gold for as long
as I can remember so it may not have been off the air in some form or another
at all.

Oh, I misunderstood the difference there.. between being taken off the
air as in being cancled, and being taken off as in not showing at all,
even re-runs.  I see what you mean.

Yeah, maybe I'll do that.

I guess we've all been pretty scarce lately. Too much work, not enough
play, I guess. I swear: one of these days I'm going to run away and join
the circus. That'll show 'em.

Don't do it; I never saw a circus that wasn't full of clowns.

screw eve online.
when will you fanboys ever stop advertising that interactive space
screensaver anyways?

what i ment to say was, that i was looking for something new, in 3D
where you could fly yer ships in 1st person cockpit view and actually
"STEER" the craft with lots of people online.

as for oolite, wish that game was a lot more polished than with a
classic feel and have multiplayer capabilities.

i'm still seeking for a 3d generic space flight trading sim fix... and
been looking for it for years since the fall of jumpgate.

I just tried to send an e-mail message to you and br d, but they both
bounced. Did you both move house while I wasn't looking?

You may be disappointed to learn that the whole Freedom fad never caught on
over here. I've never heard anyone order a Freedom Dip sandwich, for
example, or ask for Freedom Dressing one their salad.

The clue is probably in the "thiswillbounce" part of my email address.
But wait - don't replace that bit.  Replace "@bumblbee.demon" with
"@goldcrossdata".  That should do it.  Maybe.

Question: If it didn't catch on, is it still a fad?  And: do you all
put Dubya Ketchup on your French Fries?  Also: WTF is "W**** C**"?

I'd have asked for a link to Jumpgate. Jackass."

Are you trying to be inscrutable? Or does it just come naturally?

That's it?

I thought it was self-evident. I'm too old for the trapeze, and
underqualified in two departments to be the "bearded lady".

You may be disappointed to learn that the whole Pedantry fad never caught
on over here.

Not up here -- can't speak for Great State O'Taeksus, however.

It's onomatopoeia -- just sound it out.

Okay, okay. IIRC, it's a very clever shorthand for "Whirled Cuff."

close guess but thats not it.

jumpgate used to be a descent mmo back in 2002. until when the episode
2 patch was released, it seem to lost a lot of charm with the prime
playerbase.

the prime playerbase was like 200+ online pilots on peak hours. that
was very descent for an mmo gamer like me but today it's not like that
anymore.

if there was a game like this and had more than 100 players online,
that would make my day but sadly the majority of the playerbase have
such a short attention span as long as that game is not seen as on a
banner ad.
