Sorry Steve.

During my recent move, I have somehow managed to lose my copy of FRED. Since I can't find an outlet with Hero System stuff to preview it, can anyone tell me, in general terms so as not to offend Steve, the kinds of things I'd be missing if I replaced it with Sidekick instead of FRED?

Thanks
