         Ah, I was confused.  All the same, even though I own both PSOs for   
   the Dreamcast I might be interested in picking the episode 1+2 disk up   
   along with a Gamecube BBA to play it online again.  As I understand it   
   though, that is going to end this month?  That's just no good.

   I see, that pretty well blows my interest in the game.  The terrible   
   animation quality for the cut scene "sword battles" had already made me   
   fairly sore towards the game.  When George Lucas has better choreography   
   than you, you have a problem.

   I've never had more than two cats at one time, so I don't know if my   
   solution would work for you.  I just keep one of those dispensers that   
   fill up an area and slide out to a small tray.  The cats have always   
   self moderated, and when one of them got a little chunky I switched to   
   "inside cat" diet food.  The litter box had been my primary area of   
   problem, as the older cat felt that he shouldn't have to smell anybody   
   else's waste.
