Either way, I think we all did good. Software, underwater habitat and
lasers. Not bad to kids.In fact, this list has a lot of talented people.
>From what I have been reading on the newbie list, some of the high
school kids are doing phenomenal things with computers, graphics, web
page design and Linux. Remember last week's posting from Riverdale High.
I was very impressed.
BTW. I will be taking a break from the newbie list to finish my web

Cheers :-)
