           Well, this is true. But, I realy don't believe they would
have progressed even if Syd had stayed on the planet. I mean, if you
look at all of his solo stuff, while being darn fantastic, it realy
doesn't hint at bigger and better things. But, ofcourse, this could be
because he was already gone when he did them...
