I have no burning desire to get fired (which WOULD be a possibility) and what I
know is some set NAMES and NUMBERS, thats it. No pictures (I wish!)no secret
previews (at least for me!) etc. I haven't had a chance to check and see if
the 8xxx series technic droid are in there or not yet, but I will. They are no
w "available" for my comment, at least if they will be available in the US at a
"major retailer".....
I have a feeling that hte only reson that the info that is in htere is in there
is that its takes time to setup the datbases properly, so the more lead time
the better for the IS/IT people. Not real sure about that last as that is WAY
far away from what I do, and the only time I even remotely connact them is if I
call the help desk and say "our machines are down, HELP!" so they can go beat
on the relevent part of the system... :^)
