Good point.  I realized that I don't really have anything to complain
about.  Last night I realized that GDW's sales of Classic Traveller
fell off when I went away to college, ie. it is all my fault.  :-)

I never quite got arount to buying MT until just before TNE was
published.  I made up for it by buying 3 copies of everything put out
for Space: 1889.  :-)

I guess this issue can go away from the TML.  Now to work out the
details.

I feel much better now that I've had my visit from the friendly
helpful sales support staff.  Would anyone like to play TNE in
Minneapolis?  :-)
