	I have a complete list of Traveller products somewhere;
	however, since my gaming stuff was the first stuff extracted
	from the ruins of our old apartment I don't know where most
	stuff is yet.

I look at the TNE as a seperate game.  I bought a used copy
at the same time as I picked up Cadillacs & Dinosaurs, another
really unique game from GDW.

	TNE:  The universe as we know it has been destroyed and it is
	many years later.  We have to rebuild/survive.

	C&D:  The Earth as we know it has been destroyed and it is
	many years later.  We have to rebuild/survive.

	T2000: The Earth as we know it has been destroyed and it is
	many years later.  We have to rebuild/survive.

	Any other GDW game:  The <place> as we know it has been
	destroyed.  We have to rebuild/survive.

That really gets old after a while.

	I don't really see the need to switch over to TNE.  I'll more
	than likely pick up the various components as they hit the
	used game market.  I can't very well complain about the game
	if I haven't read through it.

Ditto.

My day today? Nothing major, just Xenon base gone, Scorpio gone,
Tarrant dead, Tarrant alive and then I found out Blake sold us out.
