Hi John!

Welcome (back) to the list!  Always nice to welcome a "kindred spirit" - 

I share the memories of the little black Traveller books and the joys of
exploring the universe through them...	I still have all mine, including
a
big pile of the supplements.  D&D in 8th grade and onwards, Traveller,
Star
Frontiers, GangBusters, Boot Hill, and even "The Morrow Project"
(anybody
else remember that one - with it's almost-photocopied rules) - and
skipping
classes to sneak off to the library or the cafeteria and huddle over
maps,
dice and endless bits of note paper.   Good fun, that time was.

I'm sure there are more than a few of us out there with degrees
collecting
dust on the wall :)   Mine is in History and Geography, and I'm now an
Industrial Designer.

Anyway - welcome on board.

Adrian
