bigchalk's Adventures of the e-Team Newsletter May 2002 http://www.bigchalk.com Dear e-Team Subscriber: Thank you for reading the e-Team. Whether you've been with us for two months or two years, we hope you've enjoyed the ride. When we created the first episode in October 1999, we thought of it mainly as a way of delivering the best sites we could find on the Web, and only secondarily as a story. Back then we had no idea what dimensions or worlds the e-Team would wind up in, or of the truth behind the many faces of Dr. Ignorance. Yet as the story continued, we found more and more depth in the six precocious kids that made up the e-Team. Now, two and a half years later, we're giving the e-Team a well-deserved rest. Episode XIII: One Hundred Years of Ineptitude will be the last installment in the e-Team series. But fear not! The 125 installments of the e-Team are available for viewing online at any time: http://i.bigchalk.com/U/ec/&Userid; After all these worlds and all these dreams, we thank you again for following us. Stay tuned -- and one day the adventure may continue. Highest Regards, The e-Team Team Jalel M.
