There is also the problem of input. Where does the player types his
player-to-player messages and server-commands? Morgan reserved real
space for this. How does Quake solve this?

This is not enough. You have to give a text ("City London may soon
grow to size 3.") somewhere. There are just too many messages. Either
icons are only for important stuff and you have a normal list
somewhere. Or you make the text a tooltip of the icon.

"From what I am reading Win98 and NT5.0 will be getting rid of all that
crap anyway. Seems that Microsoft has invented something called TCP/IP and
another really revolutionary concept called DNS that eliminates the
netbios crap too. All that arping from browsers is going to go away.
I also hear rumors that they are on the verge of breakthrough discoveries
called NFS, and LPD too. Given enough time and money, they might
eventually invent Unix."
