Well, had my head handed to me here good. Also every other I am holding...tuff market. Margin calls have been a daily event for 6 straight days (yuck).

What's your point Rich? Well...I don't know about any merger stuff (wish I did), but I did visit the Pepsi site today. My, oh my is it nice. The publicity for Klingon Honor Guard is unbelievable. It runs in a Java applet and it is really nicely done. Everyone here should go look at it.

Visit: pepsiworld.com

and click "Enter Here", then select, "Games". I am pretty sure anybody visiting there will be REALLY IMPRESSED. Make sure you watch the full Eclipse and then click on the different buttons (at the bottom) for the nice effects (like screen shots, video, audio,etc).

That's about all I have to say...wish I had more but I am taking a bath in this market:(:(:( Hopefully better days are around the corner:)

Rich

Ace Of Space: Inside Alpha Centauri

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri could be the strategy title to end
all others.

August 3, 1998
Sid Meier's new company Firaxis is in the process of producing Alpha Centauri,
and the general concensious is that this will
be the true successor to the highly popular
Civilization series. Brian Reynolds (the
driving force behind Civilization 2) is the
designer in chief of this turn based, empire
building title.

Remember all those poor humans
you shot off into space at the end of
Civilization 2? Well, by all accounts
they made it. The game is based on
the fate of the colonists after they
reach Alpha Centauri. You get to
play the ruler of one of the factions
that developed amongst the motely
crew during the long flight to the
nearest star system to earth.
