Atari Games and some other big players have their noses in your place.
seriously though moving is hard work. loads of stuff still to move and sort out. cambridge is the preserve of rich village people . moving back to north london for the time being
Have fun at yer new job, I have still yet to mature to something of a higher value marketplace then a dishwashing station, well, least the pay is better then nothing....
And dont remind me about moving...takes friggen forever to pack up all the things a *single* person owns, let alone a family....takes forever to cram everything into a loading truck, 'specially those heavy pieces of hardwood furniture, and the blasted fridge/freezers.

Is the Outsider "Elite 4"?
Yeah, now we have a mole telling us all the juicy E4 bits! :)
And the "Ian Bell" comment:
In 1999/2000, a dispute occurred between Ian Bell and David Braben regarding the former's decision to make available all versions of the original Elite. The dispute has now ended; the various versions are available on Bell's site. The two Frontier games are available for download from Braben's Elite Club website.

Sounds good...good luck!
H&K -The outsider is not elite 4. you can read about it on their website. They have screenshots and stuff there too.
Genexi2 - hey it took me years to get any kind of good paying job, just takes perseverence.
taumel - cheers

cool. My friend went for a job there I think. Is that the same place as David Braben or not (due to the dispute?) My friend was interviewed by David but didn't get the job ;-)
The Outsider got some coverage in Edge last month (or possibly the one before that). Looks interesting (but then, doesn't everything when it's previewed?)
