OFF TOPIC QUESTIONS SPOILING LIST

[Randall L Morgan <RANDALL_MORGAN_1@compuserve.com>]

Well, I don't know how many of you have every worked for a small or medium
game development company. But last I look, the programmers took care of
most if not all of the network setup and opperations. In fact, often times
the whole project is placed on the server to keep all the code and data in
place. That way  configuration management is much easier.  You do know what
config management is ? Don't you?  

"Real" game programming takes tallent in all areas of programming. Not just
graphics and sound! Ever hear of Net work games. You don't think a small
developer can afford to have a programmer for each area of the project do
you? If you do then get real! ON most projects money is very scares and
artist do graphics for in game and promo's, sound engineers do music,
foley, fx, and programmers do anything that involves coding or hardware or
networks! 

Unless you're lucky enought to work for a larger company, you had better
know the PC inside out! If you're going to work in the gaming industry!!!
