Hey Richard
Just to make the info available...
Yes, I'm back in the game. Yes, my ships are waiting to move to new sectors.
No, I'm not going to crap my pants if I have to wait another few weeks. If you
really do feel like taking on some more duties, many thanks, and email me at my
new address (drummere3@hotmail.com). If not, that's great--I get more time to
work on other things.
Oh, and while I'm thinking of it, have you been having trouble accessing your
ozbricks.com ftp? I have, but I don't know who to email...
Thanks much!
Andrew

| (...) I just accessed my ozbricks.com ftp no problem. I have updated it several times over the past few days too. The only contact I have is michael at ozbricks dot com, but you may not get any answer there at the moment. ROSCO (20 years ago, 29-Jul-04, to lugnet.gaming.starship)
