Back on track for today (then I take a little rest, say until Monday or 
something)

General notice:

I already mailed Bradster privately on this, but heck, just in case any other 
Eoe is interested...
The "legendary" porno artbooks "Ranma X" and "Ranma X Forever" will be 
available by about the end of the week at www.atomicclub.com
They said the launch price would be 49FF, which are about 8$ or 
something.

(they have other series there as well, all reprints form jap/it products)

Last note on ecchi stuffs:

>From what Colin says, it's even worse when you go to the Kabuki-cho 
>(was that the right place?)

Damn right it was! 
Why am I not wondering why you'd remember bits like this...

<snip computer discussiuons> 
*snickers* I just -mended- my 16MB RAM and my 500MB HDD 
yesterday... and tell you what, it works just fine.
So I can't run Unreal Tournament on it... big deal...

I dunno. Tezuka's works aren't as good as they're said to be... 
Blackjack is great... I remember fondly Tetsuwan Atom myself, as well as 
Ribbon no Kishi, but I don't remember much of Jungle Taitei (the thing IS 
35 years old anyway) and his other stories don't strike me as ultimate 
masterpieces...  

They ARE what gave the impulse towards nowadays' products, but that's 
pretty much it.
Oh, and Tetsuwan Atom is "da bomb" in France. At least for my 
generation.

Myself:

*Sheepish grin*
OK, I guess I WAS out of it...

*nodnods*

>3. Drinking a beverage called "Pocari Sweat". 

I vaguely remember its taste. It doesn't have much to begin with...

Happy to learn that your trip to Japan wasn't a disaster...

^_~ try swiss cheese fondue. At 90$ the cheese (and that's for 1 Kg) you 
won't feel too bad giving out 500Y for anything strong...

My infos are 2 years old, by that time 3... I guess I'm going to have to 
work a lot more...

I guess that's it for now...
maybe another reply late this afternoon...
