Elven Technologists, which has been around on the net for several years
now; I've got a copy on my HD that was posted to this list on Thu, 1 Dec
1994 20:40:13 +0800, for instance. That one is from a 1989 FASA flyer,
according to the person who posted it.
I just discovered it is not the complete speech... Recently a "Shadowrun
1990 Update" came into my possession, and today (when I first took a real
look at it) I noticed it had the Humans and the Cycle of Magic speech in
the back, but I spotted a few lines that I didn't remember from the one
on my HD. When comparing them, it looks like several lines were deleted
and half a paragraph was re-written for the 1990 flyer. Most importantly,
in the one I have Ehran talks about conversations with Da Vinci and having
created the Egyptian calendar, and the bit about the destruction of
Atlantis is said in different words, though it doesn't give any new
information.
This may or may not sit well with the anti-IE-lobby around here, but it's
a bit of a legendary piece of SR fiction so I thought it'd be aware of the
different versions of the text.

Well, I have no opinion about that, and I have no opinion about me...
