Yes! Always, always ask the sales rep about a game that you want to support. Even if they don't get it in...it's in their head. A few people ask, maybe they start stocking a ...

Um, obvious question, but the SUDG CD is in the drive that you installed the game from, right?

<t>Is there any way to move the popup windows around? It's rather annoying when you're, for example, trying to offer a system to someone, and the system's blocked by the comms window. I've figured out the magic combination of keystrokes to dismiss the window, select the system, get the comms window ...
