...but, I am getting pissed off with all the people here who seem to
be claiming that it will be so perfect, it will change your life, etc.
I remember that being said about Windows 95 too.

The fabled usable SVGA mode on 486's seems to be now just a rash dream
from over-enthusiastic salesmen, as no-one is commenting now on the
current betas being fast, and time's getting a bit short to do drastic
optimisations.

With all this build-up, any minor flaw will seem like a fatal
showstopper, as we all know that Sir Geoff, the First Knight of the
Software Round-Table, is infallible and we are all unworthy of his
gifts, and it is our sin in wanting GP2 that has brought the bugged
damnation upon us.

REMEMBER, IT'S ONLY A SIM, but probably a pretty darned fine one at
that. I'm having a ball currently with Indy II, and I can live with
the bugs and the occasional Hand of God because I purchased it without
any massive expectations of it changing my life.

GET A GRIP!!!

PS: Whew, I feel better after that!
PPS: I'll be donning my flame-proof overalls for my next few visits to
here <g>

But sir, Win95 was done by Microsoft, the inventors of hypeware!
Furthermore Win95 wasn't done by Sir Geoff. :-)

You mean more downforce?

I completely agree with you - the way some people carry on here they'll
probably jump off the nearest tall building if they find a single bug on
it's first release.

Some people on this newsgroup just love to hype a product out of all
existance, and then claim that they were robbed when the slightest fault
manifests itself.

Still, I'm sure GP2 will be a ***y good game...
