Has anyone else seen >it? I should think lots of other people have seen it. :-) You weren't the only ones in the cinema, were you? I personally know of ONE other person who's seen it. Do you remember Maurice of the FES Tap Room? Robin certainly will, as will quite a few others. Well, HE's seen it, because he broke radio silence for the first time in a couple of months to tell me (and AlgieArch, another ex-FES-er) I should see it, but he's gone undercover again now.

You must take Maurice's advice and see the film. You'd probably really like it. There are a few fantastic elements which may surprise you a little, I know it wasn't what I was expecting at all! But it was very pleasantly 'un-hollywood' in concept. The actors did most of the physical work themselves (bear this in mind during the action sequences!) You can go to http://www.whatisthematrix.com if you want to look around at some of the behind the scenes things, and get a feel for it. I'd love to know what some of my more computer-oriented friends think of this movie, so drop a line when you've seen it!

I don't know if I understand it, but I liked it. And also Robin, it's nowhere as comprehensive as www.comfm.fr, but www.whatson.net gives some information about live realaudio radio programs. All times are Pacific. I'm off to the east, to let my eyes take in the green trees, water, sandy beaches, and forests.. I'll try to get my fill so it'll last me once I return to brown southern CA at the height of fire season. If I don't get access from Mom's, I'll see you all in 3 weeks!
