Sorry. For those who missed it. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
On a serious note, why are there so many typos and stuff that looks
like no one ever read over the rules after they were typed in? Or is
it just that I'm noticing the typos more now.
Thanks for the update on Marc Miller.

But it might make an interesting plot for a time travel adventure. :-)

Assuming that the trademarks are still active. :-) Perhaps I and
everyone else should stop talking about Traveller on the TML so that
Traveller falls into disuse? :-)

Suggestion with 1/2 :-): Offer a complete set of Classic Traveller
books on CD rom. Take prepayments with the condition that the CD will
be printed if and only if a certain number of orders come in. A week
or two with an OCR scanner an you'd be all set. You could even break
it down into a number of CDs, Combined Rules, Adventures, Supplements,
Journals, etc.
I've already printed up a CD case cover for Disc 1: Combined
Rules. Don't worry, I don't intend to sell it. I had not
bought a new Traveller product in quite some time and had to do
something about it. :-)

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