As for my avatar, it comes from the July 1975 issue of Analog Magazine. More than a few people think it heavily influenced the design of Chewbacca.

I suspect I saw that cover at some point in the 70's, as it seems to have subliminally influenced a character I created back in college!

Thanks for enlightening me. :) Didn't know about that interesting story, great article. Zombie, your name is spelled wrong in there. ;)

Thank you for the kind words, I'm working on a stack of related material. I can't find where I would have spelled Zombies name wrong; if it's in there, please let me know, I'd hate to have it stay that way.

And just so I don't derail this thread; I wish there was something I could do to help with this project; but if nothing else, it's got my support. THX remains one of my favorite films, and even though I don't mind the retooled version so much (the image on the blu-ray is quite astonishing), it's about time it got the restoration treatment.
