Hi,
     I am a first year student at York University in Toronto.  I am
enrolled in a Social Science course called Computer Consciousness.  I have
an assignment for which I have to keep an eye on a single news group and
report on it.  I have to respond to questions such as:
a)  How often do people type articles on the subject?
b)  How many people send articles?
c)  What type of articles are posted/written?

I hope you get the point.  First I thought it would be very boring, but now
that I have read some of the articles, I find this very interesting.
Personally, I have only seen one auto simulator on the commodore 64, which
my cousin has, called Test Drive.  I don't know how many people have played
it, but it SUCKS.  The graphics are not that great and when you go around a
bend, you sometimes loose control of the car.  If you have any new games
that you would recommend, please tell me about them.  I would also
appreciate it if you would tell me some more information about this news
group so I can do better when I put in my report.  Thanks for any help and
I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy and Prosperous New
Year.

Asheesh.

I used to play a game by Accolade I think it was called Formula 1.
It was an more realistic than Test Drive the graphics and sound were OK.
A few years later I got the PC version, the Commodore versionwas better
Trt it if you can find it.
