Oh, I know. What I meant to say was that the real thing is weird,
confusing and very unlike the trailer or indeed unlike any other
IF piece. Very visual and provocative (bad machine that is, not
the trailer). It will have to wait till christmas break so I can
play it some more and decide whether I like it or not. At the
least it has the quality that I feel I must think about liking it
or not. When that happens it is usually pretty good :-)
