Its weird watching older TV shows that I watched in reruns as a kid in the late '70s. Star Trek, for example. They cut a couple of minutes out of the rerun versions to fit in more commercials than originally planned for. It wasn't until I watched the DVD versions of the series and saw scenes that I *swear* I hadn't seen in the hundreds of times watching them in reruns that I figured out what was going on. --- MultiMail/Win v0.52 * Origin: realitycheckBBS.org -- information is power.
