Wednesday 12/11 all of the CDROM-Only and all but 12 of the CDROM+Flight Bag Gifts were shipped out via US Parcel Post. Maximum delivery will be 8 days to the most remote areas. For those receiving a CDROM+Flight Bag, note that the CDROM is tucked inside one of the pouches in the Flight Bag so don't miss it!! The remaining Flight-Bag+CDROM, Flight Bag-Only and A&P Book Sets will go out as soon as the next shipments arrive, hopefully in the next few days. Once again, I want to thank everyone that made a Contribution to this year's Email List Fund Raiser! The email and web systems are now running on brand new APC 2.2kva UPS systems thanks to the support of List members this year. Additionally, the Email System will be upgraded later this month with a new, Dual Processor 2.8Ghz Linux system due to arrive any day! Your generosity has made these upgrades possible and nothing else! Thank you so much!

Has anyone got this? If so, we'll need somebody to 'test-drive' the first production example. A dangerous job, I acknowledge, but someone's got to do it, and they won't get any pay, let alone danger money!!

They are really trying to get everything right, even to Crunk recording sound bytes of a real Model 520! I'll let everybody know when the 520 is available, and the other Models they propose to do.

[Jim Addington] Subject: Gorilla Love A small, rural West Virginia Wild Animal Park had acquired a very rare species of gorilla. Within a few weeks, the female gorilla became very difficult to handle. Upon examination, the park veterinarian determined the problem, the gorilla was in heat. To make matters worse, there were no male gorillas of the species available. While reflecting on their problem, the park administrators noticed Ed, a part time, redneck intern, responsible for cleaning the animals' cages. Ed, like most rednecks, had little sense, but possessed ample ability to satisfy a female of ANY species. So, the park administrators thought they might have a solution. Ed was approached with a proposition. Would he be willing to have sex with the gorilla for $500? Ed showed some interest, but said he would have to think the matter over carefully. The following day, Ed announced that he would accept their offer, but only under three conditions. "First," he said, "I don't want to have to kiss her. Secondly, you must never tell anyone about this." The park administration quickly agreed to these conditions, so they asked what was his third condition. "Well," said Ed, "You gotta give me another week to come up with the $500." ________________________________ Message 12 ____________________________________ Time: 05:00:59 PM PST US From: YOURTCFG@aol.com Subject: Commander-List: STILL GROUNDED --> Commander-List message posted by: YOURTCFG@aol.com HI KIDS.......
