I didn't particularly notice the

#2: I wish they would take less time,
but it won't stop me from playing.

Opinion: I think they WILL inhibit the
paying subscriber, though.

  Being a programmer, I can understand
  the disk load time. I think it is
  VERY well done.
.
  From a general member standpoint,
  however, they will probably complain
  of the load times.
.
  I feel this could be effectively
  explained in the manual in a positive
  way which could change their feelings
  about it.

playing Habitat.
One stupid thing I've done several
times (and given the propensity of
some members......) When first loading,
you have to flip the Habitat disk. When
leaving, you are instructed to insert
the Q-Link disk. Several times I've
absent-mindedly (being the oldest tester
I should be able to get away with that)
flipped the Habitat disk again instead
and found myself in Habilimbo.

  The disk loads might prevent me from
using it as often.  Every simple move =
a disk load.  And most peoples Drives
aren't that relyable...

I dont think the disk loads are
too bad... the could be shorter
but they are much better than the
standard commodore disk loads...

perhaps you should check into the
1764  1700 1750   ram expanders so that
users with these expanders could use
them as Ram disks for super fast
disk access

sorry, but I think the disk loads
are prohibitively slow.  unfortunately,
there may not be much that can be done
about it.  it detracts greatly from the
playability of Habitat.
