Hello Mike.

13 Sep 03 23:26, you wrote to me:

That must take a bit of work to set it all up.

Heh, heh.  No doubt.  I am hoping to be a bit selective if you don't mind. 
I am thinking a few international ones might be a good idea as I'd like to
test some fonts here.  Part of what I am doing revolves around framebuffer
graphics and I'd like to test some GTK schtuffenputten out.  Some of those
echoes ought to make a good test.

 MK>> I see you're a Cheesehead.  ;-)

 MM>  Go Pack, Go! :)

A Cheesehead may have saved my life way back when, in the Yukon.  He
convinced me to sit and watch the the Packs play on ye ol' satellite dish
rather then go touring the hotsprings which were a bit south of where we
were.  We heard later that a bear attacked and killed a number of people
that day exactly where I had planned to go.

Who said drinking and watching TV was bad for you eh?  Certainly not me.

I noticed a note there from you stating that doorgames would be up by
September. Better get on it eh?  ;-)

 MM> Irony is a funny thing :)

Heh, heh.  Yeah that can happen.
