Hi. Great first hub and welcome to Hubpages. Your topic is really good and very interesting and you wrote comprehensively on the topic. Just one suggestion though, you might want to break up some pretty long text (like the Special Edition) and put in other capsules in between them. Other than this, your hub looks great. Good luck in Hubpages!
