Yeah, since I own them, I should have remembered that. So I'll claim I
never said that and try a new tactic. :) When did Lucas release them on
LD? If it was after it was clear that LD would never become mainstream
then I can see the point. But in the case of HD, it seems probable that
it will become much more popular in 5-10 years so he'll probably wait.
