I love it. I started watching Another World when I was in high school in 
'89, so watching the episodes from '87 on is great, I get to see all the 
stories that led up to what I got hooked on. It reminds me of the type 
of soaps I really enjoyed, before they started going nuts on gimmicks 
and stupidity.

I'm so spoiled now, between my ReplayTV and SoapNet, I never have to 
worry anymore about whether I'll miss my shows (although with some of 
the qualify of the episodes these days I wouldn't miss em as much). They 
have done some special events- latest one I recall is the "Who's Your 
Daddy" special where they showed the background behind a couple of the 
older paternity stories on the ABC soaps. I wish they'd do more of them- 
I think they mostly save them for around holidays when there are no 
soaps to air in the timeslot they normally run the current day episodes 
in.
