THE PLAN:

To get the entire world running NEXTSTEP for development,

get everyone connected on the Internet, and own a Testarossa TR512.

DOS blows. DOS-Extenders create developer HELL. Windows sux.

The next game is going to blow DOOM all to hell. DOOM totally sucks

in comparison to our next game, QUAKE: The Fight for Justice! QUAKE

is going to be a bigger step over DOOM than DOOM was over Wolf3D

(ya know -- DOOM = pong). We won't start developing QUAKE until Fall'94,

due to Jaguar DOOM (Comlynxed!), commercial DOOM (COMPUSA, Babbage's, etc.)

and maybe a DOOM level pack.

If you're reading this, your finger felt good in my hole. Thank you.
