    September 1st, 2002 :: ACiD Turns 12 Years Old :: History in the Making

         It was late March 2000 when I, for personal reasons, began to
    rapidly distance myself from all aspects of the scene and ACiD.  I
    had just released acid-88 following our traditional February sabbatical,
    then continued to watch from deep within the shadows as we dropped from
    our consistent schedule of eleven packs per year to something more semi-
    annual.  With limited involvement, I had the luxury of overseeing the
    production of two additional Acquisition Updates between now and then...

         Prophecies still remain which ACiD must fulfill.  It was almost
    precisely one month ago today that I was inspired to see to it that
    these visions are finally realized and the entire group has responded
    by returning with a vengeance that is clearly self evident in this
    artpack.

         As usual, much more is happening behind the scenes than can be
    conveyed in the digital imagery we've provided.  As we draw near the
    release of our epic 100th Acquisition Update, our extended family of
    Remorse and pHluid approach their 50th packs as well.  Plans are
    currently developing to produce our most memorable collaboration ever.

    And on that note:  Enjoy the pack.
