Wow, the boards were offline so long, I was getting worried

First: I stayed up till midnight on the 20th to get Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows... Definitely amazing

I can't believe how many people died! I thought the ending was really good, especially the part where Harry didn't die I lliked the way she ended it, completely tying up all loose ends, making no room for a sequel

I also read the Andromeda Strain. It was pretty good, but I thought it ended kind of badly. It seemed like it was building up to some dramatic, catastrophic event, and then it just ended anticlimactically.

I got Jaller and Halhi (Mahri, of course). I like Hahli's mask, but I think Jaller's is definitely awesome. The Cordak launchers are different than I expected them, a lot smaller. I really like the color schemes. The sets aren't as good as the barraki, but they have good MOCing pieces.

Good news, I ordered another scanner, one that's compatible with Vista.
