Oh, now I see what you were talking about. (Dang -- it's like you guys 
expect me to read my e-mail every *week* or something! And what with 
the war and all, it was really piling up... what a relief to learn a 
bunch of it was just malignant goofiness, that I could delete right off 
the bat...)

It does indeed look like a cool toy -- but I'm a little frightened of a 
compass that costs $60 and has "COMPASS" printed on it, in great big 
capital letters.

Any more tantalizing details of your Nautilus plans? Anywhere I can see 
a picture of what this version is supposed to look like?

(Apparently "Goliath Awaits" is available on VHS, but not DVD. Amazon 
has it. And I found this amusing review of it... or rather, of the box: 
http://www.badmovieplanet.com/inferno/archives/goliath.html ...I was 
surprised at how many people seem to think it's a good movie, though. I 
never saw it, but it sounds like such an absurd premise... apparently 
the video version is all chopped up and shortened and wrecked, though.)
