114 <emphasis>Omega:</emphasis>
115 ah, that did it then ;-)
118 <emphasis>wtay:</emphasis>

194 I'm wanting to something more interesting soon, I did the "draw an mp3
195 player in 15sec" back in October '99.
198 <emphasis>wtay:</emphasis>
199 by the time Omega gets his hands on the editor, you'll see a
