YES! my hero Walter. Hope it won't be too much of an inconvenience for
you to send it over here. Ill reimburse you for the charges.
Saw only fifteen minutes of the two episodes for today. Taped those
though and won't get around to watching them until December probably.
More like after finals. Ah well...
As to your credentials in WWII, doesn't really matter. So long as youre
interested, I term you a buff. You don't have to differentiate a Panzer
from a Panther from a Sherman from a jeep. Suppose that its like a major
in a way. You could have an overall perspective or you could have an
emphasis. I suppose mine would be great figures/villians to emerge from
that era and the concentration camps that were inherent in both old
world and new. In the overall perspective, WWII began with cavalry and
biplanes and ended with motorized infantry and jet propulsion. Yeah,
suppose you could go little more nitpicky and pick out the difference
between Panzers and Panthers and Schermans and Honda Accords but eh...
depends on your emphasis I suppose.
Oh, and please do not associate me with any current Trek series- that DS9
crossover series was a rare viewing and I think I'm a more ardent ER
viewer than I am both series. Friends are always trying to get me to see
B5 but aside from a few viewings, can't really seem to get into that
series. Hear there was some mother of all space battles that was suppose
to make me an born again convert. Probably see it after finals. Then
we'll see... And thanks again
