There's the problem right there - what is basic? To me, windows and trees
are basic, but not to a spacehead. We really need to know what LD regards as
basic and what will come and go. It's probably impossible to tell us *when*
something will disappear since it depends on when they sell out of it, but
if we know it's going to go away at some point at least we can plan our
buying to take that into account.
