First para: yeah, but I don't even go there. It's a game abstraction, and
before you get five seconds into it you fall into the arid morass of 3D
vs. 2D star maps and "real universe" vs. the means of salvation. Like
Pleikus, streetcars, and space shuttles, it's in the same place about
every 90 minutes, demanding no new energy.

Second para, thank you kindly. Perhaps this list is "The Bank of Obsolete
Currency Discarded Elsewhere." :-) Still chasing my danged metaphor.
What's the exchange rate for Confederate dollars? Weimar Deutschmarks?
Atlantis Sanddollars?
