"The Simpsons" is a Fox-sponsored show.  In that sense, it's *not*
a network show (unless you count Fox as a network).

The rules for syndication have changed since the days of "Robotech".
There are many shows that are going through their first run in
syndication..."Star Trek: The Next Generation" being a prime
example.

I don't know if a dubbed "Macross" could sell in today's market or
not, but it's no longer automatic that it *won't* sell...

BAHAHAHAHA!  $10.50 for Animage?!  I'll take it, I'll take it!  You don't
know how good that price sounds to me, considering that the *only* comic
book store I know of in my immediate Nebraska & Iowa area that even
carries Animage charges $15 per issue!  (BTW, I got Intron Depot from
Nikaku a few months ago for, if I remember right, about $35.)

*****   THIS IS NOT AN OFFER OF SALE   *****

I am the one who did the Priss and the Replicants t-shirts a few years
back  (9 dozen exist, The first batch of 1 dozen was done in Feb 1990 for
a small group of freinds at Penn State, 4 dozen were done in the second
batch around August of 1990, and the last batch of 4 dozen were done in
Jan/Feb of 1991).  As there seems to be a fair amount of interest still, I
am asking anybody who would like a shirt to send me e-mail and tell me so.
 THIS IS NOT AN OFFER TO SELL ANY SHIRTS!!!!  I am trying to see how many
people are interested so I can try to show that there is a large demand
for these shirts when I go to try and get permission to do another batch. 
I WILL NOT be doing another batch unless I can get permission from either
AnimEigo or Artmic/Youmex.  Thank you for all of the interest... It's is
really suprising to see that people still remember these after so long,
especially since there are so few of them out there.  Again thank you for
your interest!

folding and warping are two different things, and must be kept separate.  From
what i gather warping is just mear acceleration to near c speeds, whereas 
folding is a much more different process.  This is not one of the best ways
to explain it (especially since it doesn't even exist), but thing of the movie
the Fly.  It's more like moving matter, but not through space.  (perhaps 2 or
so years ago, a article was published in Discover, describing "holes" in the
univers that can be used to travel instantaneously from one point to another.

though folding on the SDF1 has only been used once.  It could be developed to
fold more accurately, in which case it could be used as a weapon, taking half
the Enterprise with it, as it did with Macross.  

btw, retreat is not necessarily admitting defeat, as in some games.  From the
kind of battle the SDF1 & the Enterprise would probably engage(comparable to the
one between the sdf1 and the Zentreati forces) in, retreating is only a 
strategy used in the game, just like everything else.  The object is to 
eliminate the opponent at whatever cost.

To: Anime-l@VTVM1.CC.VT.EDU


On the weekend of Febuary 20, 1993, the Animation Society of Virginia
Tech, VTAS, will present AnimeFest X.  This will be a 30-hour, weekend long
FREE Anime showing on the campus of Virginia Tech university.
All programs will be shown on the giant projection TV in the
Hancock Hall auditorium, complete with 900 watts of sound.
  Virginia Tech is located in Blacksburg, Virginia (like you couldn't
guess from the name), about 30 miles southwest of Roanoke along I-81.
We're a fairly active Anime club, with meetings every Tuesday, and have
our own ongoing animation and subtitling projects.
  While the schedule has not yet been set, we can promise a wide variety of
subbtitled and english material.  The prime feature will be the British
claymation film "Truckers", based on the Terry Pratchett novel of the
same name (also the author of the "Diskworld" series, and "The Color of
Magic").  We are quite certain that this film has never before been shown
in the United States, so it promises to be quite a premire!
  Other Animation films in the lineup include the Ranma movie (subtitled
by VTAS), Women Warriors Effi and Jiri (subtitled by VTAS), Samauri Pizza
Cats (English), Mamono Hunter Yohko (subtitled), Supernatural Beast
City (subbed), the completed Aeon Flux #1, and The Wind is Called
Amnesia (subtitled).

For more information, send email to VTAS@vtcc1.cc.vt.edu, or snailmail
to VTAS, P.O. Box 10143, Blacksburg, VA, 24062-0413, or log on to the
VTCOSY conferencing BBS (telent to vtcbx.cc.vt.edu to reach the
VT CBX network, then type CALL VTCOSY).  A complete schedule
for AnimeFest X will be posted when available.

I haven't seen the episode, either.  But if "Babel" does refer to the virus,
there is a chance that it is a nod to the Patlabor movie.  Sternback is
capable of this.  Does anybody have access to CI$?

I kind of doubt the reference, but I hate to see Ratinox unduely knock Robert.

Ok, I was trying to figure out how the above  occoured on r.a.a and I
think I figured it out.  There are 3 possibilities.

1)  Some one on here is a Macek fan.  (Which is ok by me.  I don't care.)
2)  This is someone's idea of a joke.
3)  The nominater realised that everyone that Priss gets emotionally attached  
    to DIES!  This would make the Macek nomination a bit of wishful thinking 
    for some of you.

#3 is the same reason I was able to resist nominating myself.

 Yes, I always wondered who has all those LD's now?? Somebody is reacher by
 many LD's for which that person didn't have to pay a cent .. probably an 
 LD player and other Video equipment as well (probably got by pretense that]
 they needed that to meet the demand for copies :-\)

 Not matter what anybody says LDTO is no different that you typical convention
 pirate scum (they also sell you a copy of an anime for a price and some even
 guarantee to replace a damaged copy).

 of course that's all IMSO ....
