Zero dollars? Hmmm.... 8)

BTW: considering Windows comes with just about every PC sold (don't ask me why..)
it's pretty strange that your friends don't have originals!

I, too, have not seen Ultima Underworld. Is it like the other Ultima games? I
always hated Ultima games....

Also: I see from those horrible message-followup headers that you are also
using xrn. Have you figgered out how to block-delete with the damn thing yet? 
I'm going to mash in the delete key if I keep holding it down like this...

Yeah, I've also heard that the AA stuff is going to be pretty cheap. Not rock-
bottom CHEAP (let's face it, $85 is not a HELL of a lot for an Agnus....) but
much better than the inflated A3000 prices.
