I think that smarmy git Rick McCallum can be held at least partially
responsible.

Indeed. My wife bought me the special edition trilogy for Christmas a couple of
years ago, much to my chagrin. When I finally found the real editions on Ebay it
was like a weight being lifted.

anything. I hope the kids like it.
