How can one resist checking out something called "Meaning of Life TV"? Okay, JB, I've just installed the RealAudio player and if my computer gets messed up I'm not voting for Maria Cantwell again!

That really is a very good web site, JB. I'm impressed not only with the excellent slate of presenters online, but with the quality of the site layout and with the Real media. I've never seen Real movies look so good; the new encoders must be better than the old were, for I pretty much gave up on anything but streaming sound files. And the use of javscript for rollover pop-up windows works very well. No "mickey mouse" of a web designer there!

Jack Haught looks older than when we had him over in Baton Rouge in 1985! Still sharp as a tack, however.

All who read this just follow that link recommended by Johnboy above. Very high quality stuff. Thanks.
