The first four tapes said that it was a limited edition of 7000 - whereas the new tape says it is only 3000. Does anyone know or can speculate on the rationale behind this change?" Well if you combine that with major chains like WH Smiths and Woolworths not giving tape 5 to the bulk of their shops, my guess is that sales of the first four were lower than expected. I've also already seen tapes one to four bundles being sold cheap on mail order in two places. cheers Steve Rogerson Redemption 99 - The Blakes 7/Babylon 5 convention 26-28 February 1999, Ashford International Hotel, Kent http://www.smof.com/redemption/ "The workers united will never be ignited" Guards!

I make it 45 words, including the title. Did you use an automatic word-count thing instead of doing it by hand? Because the only way you could have gotten 53 would be if you counted some of the punctuation as words! (I thought the idea was for it to be 49 words exactly.) Anyway, it was fun, though. -- _--_|\ | Kathryn Andersen / \ | http://home.connexus.net.au/~kat \_.--.*/ | #include "standard/disclaimer.h" v | ------------| Melbourne -> Victoria -> Australia -> Southern Hemisphere Maranatha! | -> Earth -> Sol -> Milky Way Galaxy -> Universe ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Jun 1998 23:10:13 EDT From: StefiAB@aol.com To: space-city@world.std.com, Blakes7@lysator.liu.se Subject: [B7L] Seven by seven Message-ID: <1c150ed7.358c7996@aol.com> Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Has Judith Proctor sent a story yet?

I'm going to use a system which is almost infinitely expandable to display all of these, so Don't Hold Back. However it's going to take me a week or so to get my real life work on an even keel (don't it always happen) so it's not going to spring into life as soon as I want.

Surely B7 belongs to the ranks of Dr.Who, Star Trek and even Space 1999(!) and not degraded to the status of mingling with other crappy old T.V. shows that have never achieved such cult status. -------------------------------- End of blakes7-d Digest V98 Issue #171 **************************************
