You mean you missed out on Hale-Bopp and Hyakutake back in '96-'97?

The astronomers were cautious at first with the press releases - they remember too the "bust" of Kohoutek.

I do too.

Well, I remember it some, but it wan't as endilibly etched into the the older mind as Kohoutek was on the younger. Glad to see Hale-Bopp lived up to the reasonable hype. I need to to move or go someplace away from the lights to catch these events once in awhile! The thing I remember most about Hale-Bopp is the Heaven's Gate cult that lost their heads over it.
