Well, I guess you're wondering why I've gathered you all here today. :-) Before too many messages get posted, let's review the charter. Please take a look at this to make sure you know what's appropriate here and what's not. Hopefully, if (when?) atari-amiga flame wars and such get started, a simple quoting of the charter can put them to rest, Let's keep a good S/N ratio here. (End of soapbox intro.) Thanks!
