Someone asked something about LOOM. Is this the Lucas Games LOOM that is available atleast for the PC? The game/interactive animation where you are a magician and have to find and play certain notes to cast spells? I have been wondering if this game was available for the Mac, seems so now, or are there two different LOOMs? -Ben Roimola- WHO = Ben Roimola WHAT = Geology at Abo Akademi University, FINLAND HOW = Internet: BROIMOLA@abo.fi Earn/Bitnet: BROIMOLA@finabo WHY = *** I was born with a bad taste in my mouth. ***

I haven't played either the PC or Mac version (yet! :-)) so I can't tell you how they compare. I also have no idea about availability in Finland... -Ben Roimola- WHO = Ben Roimola WHAT = Geology at Abo Akademi University, FINLAND HOW = Internet: BROIMOLA@abo.fi Earn/Bitnet: BROIMOLA@finabo WHY = *** I was born with a bad taste in my mouth. *** -- |- Peter E.

However, the animation is quite good, and the story is well done. It is meant for beginner or intermediate level gamers. (I solved it in only a few hours) If anyone is interested in buying a hardly used Loom, drop me a note. :) -- _______________________________________________________________________________ Dan Walkowski | To understand recursion, Univ. of Illinois, Dept. of Comp.
