    Remember this?  Well I've been since filled in by a couple of
    totally rightous dudes up at the big house that the copy I saw
    was some prehistoric demo, NOT Version 1.1, and that we should
    expect nothing less than ambrosia when the REAL McCoy gets to the

    Syndrome, that has been striking ever so frequently.
