[A6] Mini vs A6 part 2 (and CS80)

[Scott Metzger]

Hahahah!!  That is a total bummer dream.. I usally get those, but I am
looking at a check for 100k.

Blade Runner is my fav.  Too bad that album never got a proper
release.  Ridley Scott made some bad choices in the end.  And I am
still waiting for a decent transfer of the film.  Hopefully they have
a brand new transfer for Blade Runner when Blue Ray comes out.

Then it dawned on me that it was a dream, I thought "Shit!" and it reappeared the moment I shut my eyes. Eventually I was just pissed off because I couldn't sleep well when I kept waking up all the time.
