	Well, it is true Kasumi is slow most of the time. However, it is
maybe best to simply ignore many things. I myself have been accused of being
slow to respond to many things. However, I was fast to respond when the
challeng come. It is the traditional oriental philosophy of the ultimate
intelligence. The smartest person always appear to be the least
intelligent unless observed closely. This also link to the "dress up as a
pig to swallow a tiger" trick Chinese con man uses. The trick involving
pretend to be a helpless pig and rob the robber. I think Kasumi choose to
ignore most of the things going on.(You would have to if you live with
Ranma.) The flashes of intelligence is the true indication of her mental
capacity. Remember, as a traditional oriental daughter she cannot be "smarter"
than her father. It would be insulting to Soun.(I can imaging how difficult
this can be) Those people who brag will will suffer, and those who are
humble will know the full meaning of life. - a powerful Chinese saying to
keep someone's ego in check.) Kasumi truely understand the advantage of
being precieve not so intelligent. Is works in real life too :-)

Gundam movies are digest versions of TV series with some new animations,
just like Gundam 0083: The Afterglow of Jion. Both TV and the movie
essentially belong to the same universe. Sure, they have few differences
but they are no where near significant as differences between novels and
the anime.

0083 is a sequel and 0080 is a side story of the original Gundam. I agree
with you that main characters are NOT necessary for good sequels or side stories.
But a remake would require same main cast, mecha and storyline, although
some minor changes could be made.

F-91 type sequel is something that no one want to see again. The problem with
all these remakes is that very few of them have high enough quality 
to impress new generation of anime fans. Also, Gundam fans are very picky
in general. Even Z Gundam received harsh criticisms from many original
Gundam fans in Japan and there are quite a few original Gundam fans who
only accept the original Gundam as true Gundam.

Agreed. :-)

In the US, maybe, but I got a copy that is quite a few generations down
(haven't watched it in about 4 years, wonder if the picture has
degraded any further). Can't remember where it was originally recorded.

Hmmm...let me guess...tar only works with text data. [Albert slaps himslef
in the forhead with mallet]  Evidently, Tom used the GIF89 format for the
cover gif (it's interlaced too).  I have a 'fixed" version that was
supposed to be in the .tar.Z version.  Tell ya what.  Remove the .arc and
.tar.Z version and I'll reupload the whole shebang with the "fix" GIF
cover.

Yes, I'm a Jion supporter. :) Why? It's rather simple. The Federation
is corrupted and they consider spacenoids to be second class citizens.
They refuse to leave the Earth even when she's dying. It's no wonder that
the spacenoids rebel against the Federation. Original Gundam didn't
tell much about what's going on inside the Federation but later series
(especially novels) deal with this in detail. The more you read/watch
Gundam, the more you'll get sick of the Federation and their evil. 
Probably that's why most hard-core Gundam fans (including staffs of
0080 and 0083) are Jion fans.

I do agree with you, I enjoy every much watching Gundam, I like to read 
up on all the mecha stats, write article for our club's Fanzine on 
Gundam, and even build the models...But mobile suits will still always be 
things of Fantasy! (not real, physically possible). Even in a good 
science fiction story such as the world of Gundam, some Laws have to 
apply! Could you just imagine watching Star Wars where the characters 
could actually fight Hand to Hand combat in thier shorts in Space!! 
 
As long as the Characters and situation remain true to what goes on in 
humanity, then I will aiways enjoy Gundam. When I first watched the 
Gundam movies , I felt it was a very "Realistic" look at war! We see 
friends and loved ones die, and the emotions that go along with it! As 
long as this element continues to make up GUNDAM I will continue to 
watch! The instant it breaks down into episodes filled with no 
characterization but only MEGA oversized and overpowred Mecha fighting it 
out (Kind of like transformers!), then that is the day I leave the Gundam 
world!!

Greetings, netters...

What you are about to read (or skip over, if you're not into fanfic) takes 
place in the Undocumented Features universe, but is not the fourth volume.
Over the next couple of months, a planned three of these vignettes, if you
will, will be posted, showing various things occurring during the gap 
between Out In the Cold and Crossroads.  They aren't part of the main story,
but they're ideas we thought were worth sharing, so...

The piece of work about to be posted is something I actually wrote some
time ago, with the aid of Vaughn "Reality" Gross (paladin@wpi.wpi.edu), but
before it could be posted, the mainstream UF universe had to catch up.  The
events in _Altered Appleseed_ were, in real space, the first mention of the
events which were recently posted toward the end of _Out In the Cold: 
Undocumented Features Volume Three_, as a historical sidenote.

The reason I'm posting this instead of MegaZone is simple.  He's busy, and I
have nothing to do.  Besides, to the best of my memory, Zoner was not involved
with AA; it was something I began on my own, and Vaughn took an interest and 
became a coauthor about halfway through.

Now for the notes for the UF Universe historians: This story takes place sixty-
six years after the end of Out In the Cold.

For the somewhat concerned: acknowledgements of every copyright I could find
that I broke in this are at the end.  If I put them in now I'd give away 
some cameos.

For the technically curious: No, a Garland will not fit in the cargo space of 
a VF-1FS Hyper Valkyrie.  I built it in Olympus, using the blueprints I had 
in my Valkyrie's onboard computer and various adapted Landmate parts.

For everyone: Enjoy.  Comments are, as always, welcome.  Mail to me or Vaughn 
at gryphon@world.std.com and paladin@wpi.wpi.edu.

NOTE: My WPI access (gryphon@wpi.wpi.edu) will be terminated October 9.  I can
be reached after that at gryphon@world.std.com and bhutchin@nyx.cs.du.edu.

Have fun!

If it was a Mac specific...I'd have used stuffit. ;)  Anyway, this is first
time I've done this (Barry Brown usually does it) so "teething" pains can
happen.  as for .tar, that's a unix thing.

Just do the uncompress/untar from your unix host, and then download
everything.

I thought the purpose of putting AnimeStuff17 in .Z format was for us mac
users and to keep it the same as the other 16 issues.  How are we soppused
to un-.tar the damned thing.  Isn't .tar an IBM/clone method of compression
like Macbinary or Stuffit is for the mac.  PLEASE.  PLEASE PUT ANIME STUFF #
17 IN PLAIN VANILLA .Z FORMAT.  PLEASE SEPARATE THE GIF FILES FROM THE TEXT.
AND PLEASE DON'T COMPRESS THEM.  Sorry, but this is getting really f***ing
annoying.

PS  Thank you Albert Wong for going to all the trouble to put AS17 up.
