    Kate has described the sang as being from the viewpoint of a
baby in it's mother's womb, frightened by the world that it will have to
enter.

    There was an attempt, but it kind of fizzled out. But to get every
word that Kate has said on a particular song, check out Ron Hill's
_Cloudbusting_ project. It's a compliation of every available interview
keyed by song, phrase and word. I installed Mosiac last night and found
_Experiment IV_, Richard Frost's WWW site. It's address is:

http://www.jrc.flinders.edu.au/ExpIV/

...and it features (among other fun stuff and a really nice set of
graphics) a hypertext version of _Cloudbusting_, converted by 
Richard Caley. It's got a few bugs, but with a little user feedback
to scare the little critters out, it will become a great resourse.

    I really enjoyed bouncing around the net in this way. *LOTS* of
fun (after a lot of *NO FUN* getting the thing working.)

    Anybody have some more cool Kate, Jane, Sarah, Happy pages?
ANd does anyone know of a better Windows PPP/SLIP/Winsocket 
telnet utility? The one I'm using (from Netmanage) is functional
but little else. I've become spoiled by Procomm's user definable
buttons. I can download a whole bunch of different ones, but
suggestions would make the search quicker.
