Dave worked extensively on both N4 and NR2002, and was responsible for the
conversion of the GPL physics engine for use in the Nascar products.

Thx for the rumor-squashing Eric, as well as for the good work you guys have
done.  GL down the road.  With maybe a P and a 2 in there somewhere for good
measure... ;-)

Hi Eric,

may we ask whether Papy will keep creating sims for the PC?

Yay.  Thanks for the confirmation Eric, and good luck to you guys with
your new projects.  It must be nice to have those 2489572345 Nascar
sims behind you. =)

Randy?  The guy who put multiplayer on the map for Papy IMHO, was Charlie
Heath.  Where is Charlie now?  BTW, the ship started to sink prior to N3.

Your fault he left Brian, but you already knew that...:-)

Charlie was cool though, I still remember him being rather "unimpressed"
about the MP code in NHeat over on Jake's old NG

Heh, I remember him only being a mid-packer in the old N Legends league I
used to run (with a lot of r.a.ssers in it, too..remember CLONE, lads?)
