I hope that by having the cube re-emerge and become once again a fairly popular item, many other unique pieces will make a return, like the RUBIKS REVENGE, as an example. And perhaps then they will become a stable commodity instead of just burning out after just an intense period of a couple of years. A Hula Hoop is a fad. A piece like the Cube is Timeless. -- Jin "Time Traveler" Kim chrono@ibm.net VGL Costa Mesa / Puente Hills http://www.geocities.com/timessquare/alley/9895 http://www.slamsite.com
