Come on, Paul.  We love you like a brother; we have to, you're all we've got!

But, you don't really believe for a minute that the potential customers for a
$600 toy that actually requires cerebration and participation forms a one
to one map with the set of average couch potato vidiots who also happen to
see your efforts?  You'd better pitch at the folks who would spring that kind
of cash for a HiQ toy, rather than the average, couldn't be bothered slobs.

Kent, the man from xanth.
