The Analog Bits - SW Laserdisk campaign

[EricJ]

Now THIS is how to do an April 1 website (and from the man who said he wouldn't, but at least he was a good sport for the holiday and not a jackass about it):

Wow, is it April already? Time sure does fly! With the new month comes the promise of another new issue of The Analog Bits Newsletter. We just dropped the April issue off at the Post Office yesterday, so you should all have it soon. (Knowing the Royal Mail, it'll be May before copies of The Analogue Bits Leaflet reach our U.K. subscribers, but hang in there folks!)
For this month's My Two Cents column in the newsletter, I really needed to get something off my chest. You see, faithful readers... something's been bugging me in recent days. After a marathon Laserdisc viewing of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi last week, with my old friends Matt Rowe (founder of the legendary MusicTAPE! Magazine) and Weekend Weatherman Dave, I got to wondering: Why in the heck aren't the Star Wars films available on "special edition" Laserdisc?

(Get it on the one day it's up, obviously, since, unlike some people, Bill Hunt doesn't leave lame jokes up in places where they can haunt the gullible for the next three years...)
