schwa I agree, I like the old stiff too. I have the original World Operations Manual from a few years back, I love it, I havn't checked much of the new stuff out. My other favorite series id the "Acme Novelty Library" featuring Jimmy Corrigan- the smartest kid on earth, they are incredible-if you can find them, check them out. You will love Real World Metals if you get them. Thanks, kaom
