Color me silly, but didn't Mason have something which had all of the
data on Sylia's data disk? We see him looking at it in ep. 3. At the end,
he challanges "Sylia" (uses her name), and then, after loosing, says:
"Sylia, it was you." It seemed to me that he had the other datadisk.
(As you can tell, I just got the subtitled BGC, and can understand more
than I could when watching it in Japanese).

That's about the way I saw it Ben. Now, remember the end of chapter 8 of
BG Cross? The Anonymous Investor refers to his "master data unit". Sylia has
backup #2 and Blackie has backup #1. So if Mason originally had the
information that the Anonymous Investor now has, who do you think the
Anonymous Investor is? If you said Mason, you're wrong. If you said Largo,
you're also wrong. But if you said "Mason AND Largo" you'd be close ;)

     STOP DOING THAT! ARGH! I don't have enough TIME! ARGH!
Must read the Shannara books.
Must read the mail.
Must pass my classes.
Must sleep.
Must program.
Must write.
.
.
.
Must figure out how to do that in 24hrs....

[snip further explanation]
    I see why you want to see BG Crash.
    --and crash it did.. :O

I still want to see it. Jeanne's never said a bad word about it and if the
artwork is half as good as BGC#8, then I HAVE to watch it :)

     Grumble, grumble.

    I'll have to read that one, if I get time..... Bert and I formed a
"Time mis-manager's Anonymous" but we can't find time to go to the
meetings.

Heh! I was going to form a procrastinator's support group, but I never got
around to it ;)

    Hehehehe. I guess the 10,000v. cattle prod is helping, ne?

Funny how the voltage keeps increasing ;)

     I thought that's what it started at. What *DID* you make it?
     I know the BFG keeps getting bigger. What was it?
BFG 9,000,000,000 (or was it 9million?)

in selected cities. How much does a plane ticket to Japan cost these days
anyway?

    Too damned much! ($1500 from Rochester, NY to Kanazawa). But, there's
no tuition for that quarter, lodging is provided by KIT, but I have to pay
insurance, transportation, meals. Also, they suggest $2500-$3000 for the
trip. ARGH!

You're going as a transfer student? You're still a lucky dog! Chance of a
lifetime :)

     Saving, saving, saving..... (Hoping, hoping, hoping also)
