Again I am reminded of two ideas Woody Allen that seem appropriate here.

   1)  If there is a God the one thing we can deduce about him for sure is
that he is an under-achiever.

   2.  I am at two with the universe.

Elrikk  (at two with most things)  ;o)

I simply don't CARE.

I'll let this be my last contribution to this thread since it seems to be
going a bit far afield from the intended RL topic.  But I have to say the
above statement, as regards RL, is contradicted by your very presence in
RAS.  It's inconceivable that anyone with the basic interest that leads them
here would not care.  One might well think C&T are nuts and RL will never
see the light of day.  But if you care about sims, you cannot be completely
indifferent to such a project.  And if one doesn't care about sims, why are
they here?

As for larger issues, not caring about such basic questions is a sad state
of affairs, usually borne of weariness at not finding a suitable answer.
Well, people have been seeking such since they became self aware, so the
fact that we can't answer them shouldn't surprise us.  In fact, the
unanswerable nature of the question is one of the basic tenets
of...agnosticism.  Which brings me full circle, so this is where I get off.

Here's wishing you some pleasant surprises... ;-)

No, that was basically not caring about religion.
If RL does make it to the public, I'll definitely check out a demo, at least.
Rumors of a high price tag may keep me from buying it right away, though.  I
love racing sims, but my relative lack of speed, and other things going on in
my life mean that I need to change priorities.  So I no longer wait with bated
breath for the next new computer game, as I once did.  If there were going to
be a Starcraft 2, I might change my mind...<g>

ooo, as a christian, its hard not to want to start a massive debate here....

Either way, I have to say I think I'd prefer a nice render of an Aussie V8
in the next website update (are you listening West brothers? ;-)  )

Sorry, I haven't been following RAS and sim racing much lately.  Did the West
Bros sim ever get produced.  I remember seeing great screen shots a while back.
Then nothing.

Not released as of yet.  I'm hoping it comes to pass but if it doesnt so be
it.  The only thing we're out is a bunch of talk on a NG :)
