[Someone else mentioned that C-A just took a good stance on
grey-market dealers]

People were complaining that C-A doesn't spend enough on R&D esp where
staff is concerned.  At DevCon the new president claims that he'll be
working on fixing that.

Whoa! Exactly 5 days after I secured my Iron Ring! (Does anyone know what
*that* means?)

Expect a nice fat envelope from me. And make sure there is an A2500 near by
to push the disk into.

  temperature, volume, humidity and other variables, the organism
  will do as it damn well pleases.
      Sounds like some of the code I have written!!!!!   8^)
