    Hey Dave,
    
    would you mind summarizing what they said about "The Twin"? I'm
    curious. For that matter maybe we can get you to summarize the list of
    the good, the bad, and the ugly. 
    
    "sakman" - who wonders if Dave is saying to himself "freakin summarize 
    this!  Go unass a coupla bucks!" as he reads this.

    That would be you, I moved those notes from the Matchless topic. 
    Figured we could have a more generic topic to discuss this sort of
    thing in.

    I can't believe you guys would actually drool over something you've
    never heard!  At least I try and restrain myself until I know what
    something's really like before I go into serious drool mode.
