     Well, that about does it.  Falcon 3.0 is a great game, although it took a 
LONG!! time to come out, but I think the wait was worth it.  I have a 486-33, 
8MB RAM, and a Soundblaster, so I can take full advantage of Falcon 3.0's 
capabilities.  Great game, now I just have to wait for A-10 Avenger!!!

Happy flying!!
