Ok.  Didn't know there was such a thing.  Most of my
time is spent doing VRML modeling at the moment.

Ok.  That's one for enhanced and one against.  The reason I
ask is that Netscape allows the use of Javascript which
enables some sophisticated work such as interactive user
input.  For example, I was building a LoveHounds test
that tests knowledge of Kate and rates the entrant, all in fun.

Considering the rather large quantity of what is out there,
it will be interesting to see new material.

Noted.

I'll check.  Last I looked, those were incomplete.

That's sad for kate.  I'd always heard she cared
a great deal about her fans.  Since she won't tour
and puts out an album every epoch or so, activities
like Gaffaweb are pretty vital.

thanks for the info.  I may wait to see what y'all
have going since too many cooks is usually a bad
idea unless they are rather tight friends.  The 
Kate Worlds have been consuming and I have more to
do there.
