Joel, why do you complain about people not understanding english when you
don't even type in english.  Why don't you try posting on here like this.

Richard, let me ask you and other people something that have a hard time
understanding what I say and talk about.  Now here what I'm saying ok?
Here we go.  Why is it so hard to understand when I say a word like
modification, positions, babylonian, heck man or even a word you would
understand like dog, cat, or house, huh?  I mean anyone with a 5th grade
education could understand, why can't you?  And also you guys talk about
how dumb you really thing I am, but yet you're using subject like "Sierra
SUCKS!!!!!".  I don't have the game yet and I'm not going to get it.  And
you call me stupid?  Let me explain something to people that don't
understand what I'm saying.  If you can't understand english you shouldn't
be on an english newsgroup.  Oh, I'm sorry.  You don't understand those
kinda words?  Lets try something easier like Valvoline.  Can you say it
with me?  Valvoline.  Come on now I know you can do it.

  Now if you type like that you're still going to***people off but at
least now they will be able to read it.

  And to everyone else, please don't ask me to translate again.  That took
me 20 minutes and I have one *** of a headache now.  Ugh!

Isn't the Internet a great place?  Where else can you find a
discussion of the English language in rec.autos.simulators?

I think everyone's being played for the fool on this one, but I do
agree about the lack of structure any fifth grader could use in their
writing is totally evident in his posts.

Too bad...some valid points might be missed.

 Excellent game Adam, but I don't agree with you on the shipping.
 I bought mine at CompUSA a week ago for 39.99. That's $2.00 more
than Sierra's price. ( 29.99 + 8.00 2nd day ) I assume most people
who pre-ordered thought their's would get shipped the same day the
game was shipped to retail stores. ( maybe delivery by 12/6) Did any
recieve a pre-order before 12/6?  How many
people would have pre-ordered, paying $8.00 for 2nd day, if they knew
stores had were to have it on their shelves Dec. 3rd or 4th but you
won't get your 2ND DAY delivery till the following week? Not many!!
Exactly what is Sierra's desciption of "2nd day"??
Glad I idin't pre-order! Got mine a week before and only cost me an
extra $2.00.

Goodbye Joel, and good riddance.

I totally agree. I ordered N2 on12/8/96. Order person didn't ask which
ship method I preferred, and just assumed I wanted "2 day delivery"
Then she says 3-5 days for "2 day delivery"!? Me thinks I smell a rat.
I betcha there's no difference in how long it takes no matter which
method you pay for, and a few extra bucks for Sierra....Well, It's
been 5 days since I ordered and nothing yet...so back it goes...Sierra
will refund ALL my money.....

I think it would be safe to assume that you infrequently order anything
through the mail.  They probably have a 1 to 3 day backlog of orders and once
it's shipped, it will, in fact take two days to get to you.  While I agree
that saying "you'll get it in 3-5 days" is the wrong way to disclose these
conditions, it's up to you to make sure you completely understand these
conditions surrounding the circumstances of shipping your order.

In other words, if you had a problem with what they said, it was up to you to
ask for clarification.  I guess you learned a valuable lesson about ordering
an item that's new directly from the company manufacturing that item.  In
short - don't do it.  You'll end up paying more, and you'll end up waiting
longer.

Don't get your undies in a wad.  I ordered mine in early December and got
it 1/2/96.  It was shipped UPS ground on 12/17 and took 2 weeks and 2
days.  Once you get it, all will be forgiven.  I just loaded and am
getting used to the new one (had original).  Got a T2 for Christmas and
that is the only way to go.

Has anyone loaed their PCX in the driver profile and it works?
