Yes, I was completely wrong.

To all you long-suffering bandwidth misers: I had stated in several posts, both public and private, that the latest issue (Summer '97) of Sierra's magazine "Interaction" made not a single mention of the company it not-so-recently acquired, Papyrus. Michael Carver pointed out to me that I was quite wrong, and he's right: there are, at the very least, six (6) inclusions of the word "Papyrus" in the magazine. I apologize to the group for using an unsubstantiated statement in support of my opinion that Sierra would eventually absorb Papyrus to the extent that the Papyrus name would become a mere memory. I screwed up -- I didn't check my facts thoroughly and only read Interaction cursorily, although I thought at the time that I had checked it out pretty thoroughly. Obviously not. Barton Brown

Barton is right. Papyrus is barely mentioned at all. In fact, Papy's web page is no longer available(www.sierra.com/papyrus).

However, as Michael just reminded me, there is not a single mention (I'm RILLY sure this time!) of Papyrus in any of the several NASCAR Racing 2 ads in Sierra's propomag. Bart "foot tastes good!" Brown

And you like Fords -- Phillip, you're my kinda guy. Well, not in *that* way, OK? Bart

<<Could be that mind's opening up a bit... :)>> Hope not -- no telling what will fall into it. Say^, you look good in a beard.! Bart
