The question is, you see, how in the name of Hell 'Unfeign' managed to
miss it. Probably a bit of dried snot, or whatever, strategically
plastered over the monitor. These things happen. As for blaming you, I
was only ringing your bell, as they say.

Oh, she does. She's into all that amateur electronics stuff. Microchip
mad, she is! She specializes in transitive verbs, I hear.

Which certainly isn't old Sian, after the "Get-out-of-my-miiiiiiiiiind!"

There are two, actually. 'Dune' (www.imdb.com/title/tt0142032/ , 2000)
and 'Children of Dune' (www.imdb.com/title/tt0287839/ , 2003). They're
not remakes. For television SF programs they're very good, much better
than the film. No sonic weapons, or rats spliced with cats. I'd
recommend them.
