  ACTION ITEMS:
   1. HAD HARDWARE MEETING WITH STUN/DRIVER GROUP. DECIDED TO KEEP
      MAIN AND ADSP BOARDS THE SAME. (STUN WILL STUFF LESS PARTS)
   2. WE DECIDED TO GO WITH A STANDARD RES. MONITOR. (512 x 240)
      MONITOR SIZE IS STILL A BIG QUESTION TO BE SORTED OUT.
   3. A NEW UP TO DATE PROJECTION OF THE STUN HARDWARE COST IS  
      REQUIRED TO HELP DETERMINE MONITOR QUESTION.
   4. THE ISSUE OF THE GAME CONTROLS IS STILL AN OUTSTANDING 
      ISSUE WHICH MUST BE ADDRESSED ASAP. A HI-LOW SPEED SHIFTER
      IS GOING TO BE TRIED IN ADDITION TO FLIGHT CONTROL VS. JOYSTICK.
   5. WE DISCUSSED THE RESULTS OF THE FOCUS REPORT ON 1/4/89.
   6. MIKE JANG IS STARTING AN UPRIGHT CABINET CONCEPT BUT MONITOR 
      ISSUE NEEDS TO BE DECIDED ON.
   7. WE HELD AN ANIMATOR-FIELD TEST SUPPORT MEETING ON 1/4/89.
   8. 4 TH. REVIEW PUSHED BACK ONE WEEK TO 1/20/89.
   9. MIKE IS WORKING ON A DETAILED WRITE-UP OF GAME GOAL.
