Unlike you and many others I do not seek enlightenment...rather it comes to me. To seek for a thing, to puruse it, is to drive it further from ones grasp than you can see. You all seek the jade empire...whilst I in pursuit of the next curve and the next hill am already there. Do you know what the sound of one hand clapping is?

The LS version was styled by Hans Muth, who did the original Katana, and barring the odd nose cone, it's no different. It's just a cosmetic job. |
