Re: Reproduction Updates

Tom,

        I am very sorry I never got that beat up NOS overlay out to you
for Asteroids. A couple things happened this month that caused me to get
hung up for a while (one of those was surgery on my friggin nose so I can
breathe better). I am a moron and very sorry about that, and hopefully,
overall, it didn't impact your project. I know it's something as simple
as mailing a friggin big envelope out, but with as hectic as things get
sometimes....

        If anything happens with Asteroids Deluxe, LMK as I do have a CP
for that (upright), but it's one that I need. It's the actual CP as
well...not a sticker. I haven't played it in a few months, so lending it
out would be no problem. I'd cover all shipping.

        Finally, do you still have Tapper stuff available, and are you
still planning on doing Tron side art (even quietly since Disney does own
it?)
