   I'm with you Steve, the possibilities are endless.  Just a little   
   imagination, the will (by all concerned) to do it, and some cash, is all   
   that's really needed.  Stranger things have happened.   
      
   RD Next Gen sounds like a good idea as well, but I still haven't given   
   up on the boys from the Dwarf!   
      
   Some new RD would be much less ludicrous than the never ending stream of   
   "Rocky" movies for instance. :-)   
      
   We are not the writers nor the actors, but together we could put the   
   funds together.  That's a start at least.  What else is there?   
      
   -Max, the crimson short one.

   Luke Skywalker and Obi Wan Kenobi are at a Chinese restaurant. Obi Wan   
   is doing fine but Luke has sprayed egg roll all over the place and is   
   struggling to even get the food to his mouth. Obi Wan surveys the chaos   
   and says, "Use the forks, Luke."
