If the damn drugs don't kill me, they give me a 50% chance of still being here after 5 years, (actually it is either a 75% or 25% chance depending on the subtype, but the test to find out costs around $8,000 and won't change the outcome anyway, so I'll take the average 50% stat) - so with any luck I'll be still around when the BluRay/HD-DVD/3D version of the trilogy comes out
It is poignant that Laserman posted this in 2005, ie 5 years and 3 months ago.
We spoke via email a few times, and I had a huge respect for the guy. He will always be remembered here as the person who came up with the "GOUT" acronym.
