I have a question for you

Its not my intention to derail the thread, but just want to ask something while its there...

Very interesting, I have a question for you. I usually don't play PC games, but once long time ago, bought a DVD of Porche Cars. When I got home I realised it's a game, not a movie. Later I decided to see whats going on.

To make a long story short, I build up somes of the cars, bought a steering wheel, and to me I found it an absolutely realistic game, it steered precise, the background looked real excellent etc.
THe outstanding factor for me was the realism you can achive by building up the cars.
Since then I look at other games, but found them unrealistic, cars steering like boats, give away all other I bought to family.

I read something about this game was made by Porche and Electronic arts, but don't have the whole story. My question to you is, how did Electronic Arts felt about this game etc, will it be giving a new life on Windows-7 etc, was it reconsidered ?

What do you photograph, Carlow? New products/demos???? Not trying to sound sarcastic or anything.... I just can't think of any other reasons for a group of engineers to have a Photographer on retainer???
And I love my guns too, but the stuff I work with is a little bit more.... well... just more

Interesting thread. I'm a trader's assistant at CitiBank during the day, and currently are attending med school and run blood tests at night for a doctor's office until I get my physician's assistant degree.
