For one thing, my ISP is going to be completely phucked until the weekend, it took me over a half hour to access my e-mail. And for another thing... I don't know about you, but quite frankly, I'm too dazed/overwhelmed with shock, loss, and a quiet, but completely MURDEROUS *rage* to work on anything right now. Yesterday, the city I've come to know and love over the past fifteen years was mutilated in a sick orgy of pointless destruction. Pearl Harbor was a naval base. A couple thousand military personnel were killed there... and yet THAT pittance was enough to catapult us into WWII. The destruction of the WTC will probably claim at least ten times that number, and all of them were innocent civilians. Scott, IMHO, the only solution left to us now is war, and empire. A permanent Pax Americana, imposed on the rest of the barely-civilized world, enforced by military might and/or large doses of plutonium -- once and for all. We'll hate the job, which qualifies us perfectly for it. -TOM Tom Gordon Free Lunch Studios tgordo@mindspring.com http://www.mindspring.com/~tgordo
