Uh-huh.  Remind me to shop for a sound/pcmia card sometime when I have
funds, eh?

I would definitely enjoy (er, I think ) a visit to ltuae_oz, so if
someone can tell me which server to use, I'd make the effort to show
up.

Actually I kinda enjoy doing the /whois stuff and finding out what
OTHER channels a person is in.  It can be very enlightning.

No, coz you have to type in the exact name to join.  Ever count
"!!!!"'s?  Not a lot of fun.  I did find a clever way to find out the
whole channel name though... by listing the names of the users in a
wildcard fashion (ie, "!!*"), I could then do a /whois on someone in
the channel and find out the whole name.   (I liked that -
it was like solving a puzzle).

There are some that could make "sensitive" or even mildly human people
vomit.  :-(

Musta been Den!!!   He likes feathers.

That's the whole point of fun, isn't it?
