Wow. Thanx for the detailed comments.  I think those will keep me 
occupied for some time.

I'm trying to snag T2X right now and I got the rest of the Lord Alan 
series the other day. 

I have played a few of the older ones you mentioned.  Listing the author 
with later missions is helpful on giving a better perspective than just 
a mission title. 

Found my old password info for ttlg so will do a bit of skulking around 
over there as well.

Thanks again,

M.
