Ladies and Gentlemen, it works...mostly. I stayed up way too late, I've 
now seen the dawn again. Oops. But, well, it works. Mike, Tom, thanks, 
Vermouth lives and I'm working through it now. Just don't try to "chat" 
me in ICQ for a few days...something's wrong. Anyway, I'm going to go 
catch an hour of sleep and then take on the day. G'night.         -dave






The (best and most complete) Star Wars toys archive, "www.toysrgus.com",
was informed today by attorneys of "Toys R Us" that Gus was infringing on
their copyrighted name. 

Apparently, they feel that their registration of Toys R Us as a US
trademark for toys (in addition to various other "R Us" trademarks for
other specific trades) grants implicit ownership of any secondary level
.com domain beginning as TOYSR__.COM or ending as __US.COM, regardless of
business trade. 

Gus, the owner of the site, can be reached at lopez@halcyon.com. 

Just trying to let you guys know of the abusrdity of it all.  This is just
like that veronica.org thing!
