The substance of our discussion had to do with what's coming, not the

Not completely forgotten - they have a sub-forum:

Now Rich, you arent the sort who gets enraged when he sees Grateful Dead
stickers on SUVs, right?:-)

This is something that's been on my mind for quite some time. I don't know
who was there first but, there was also the abortive FlameThrower for
SuperCard.

And of course its also on the minds of folks at runtime, very much so -
there is a forum set up specifically for this topic here:
http://forums.runrev.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=11

Since RevConWest 2006 is coming up, it might be a good topic for discussion
as well there.

See what happens grandpa, when yur jaw'in on the porch, playing checkers and
reminicin'? Eurotalk is a European partner of Runtime's for TTT sales - its
irrelevant for purposes RR.
