Geez, Paul - "On the Net or On Your Knees" was most of the reason I
bought damn thing (3 actually).  That's the greatest slogan in the
history of Usenet! (and yes, I know that I'm crass).  ;-)

My biggest regret is that I bought the version without the In Search
of Space art on the back - that shirt (Tori has one) look MUCH cooler.
If we do another run, I'm buying 2 more, and getting them WITH the
back art.  The ONLY change that I vote for is putting the engines back
on the ME-262, prince of turbogliders!  ;-)
