Trust me, I noticed. Not the dumbest thing I heard of, but does merit
the
stupidity/laziness-of-thought appellation.

Thanks! I was wondering that myself, just after mentioning the NTSC/PAL
frustration. Still, there are plenty of old movies that seem to be
available only on tape, which IS NTSC or PAL only, and there's the whole
VHS/Beta divide as well... ;->=

By the way, anyone have an AAR? If I can't get a game up, I'd purely
appreciate a vicarious thrill...

Hell, I'd read a gropo rambling with gratitude!
