Exactly right Jerry!
If you aren't old enough to have see Eddy in his prime, all you have to do is do your homework by reading the books and renting the vidios about Eddy. Eddy's unique ability is very well documented. There was only one and it will be a _very_ long wait till we see the likes of Eddy again! I would recommend a viewing of La Course En Tete.
