I've been spending the last four days doing a lot of computer work - tidying up both mine and the significant other's PCs ( it's still an ongoing process *groan* ) to get rid of junk and make sure all our important stuff ( e.g. PORN!!! <Homer Simpson "arrrrrrrrrrrrrr...."> ) is being backed up safely.
In the process I ran across a forgotten, old .txt file of the results of a survey Marvel did ( I think around about the time the first Ultimate Universe debuted ) of what the fans of then thought were the best issues since FF #1.
