   Sorry!! "pre-"Episode IV"?? Do you mean the prequels, Ep I, Ep II and Ep   
   III??   
      
   And, in my opinion, there IS no "Episode IV"!! When I saw it at the   
   flicks, it was just "Star Wars".

   My modular Stereo system (Radio Amplifier, Cassette Player, Record   
   Player and CD Player) HASN'T been re-assembled since I moved into this   
   house almost ten years ago.
