Since I had this page leftover, I thought it might be a good opportunity to bring you up to date, although there is not much to bring you up to date about.

The Talk Room is officially closed. Not for any great political reasons,
it just seemed more effective to direct all comments to the Xara Conference as most of you check into that conference as well. So this saves you, and me, an extra trip.

Of course, for those lurkers out there who don't like to appear in public forums, (and who can blame you) you can always reach me by e-mail at themook@slip.net I'm never too busy to receive compliments, questions, or big bucks book offers. I've even amenable to criticisms, however they have to be submitted on the third Thursday of every even numbered month or on the second Tuesday of odd numbered months except February when all criticisms should be submitted on the first full moon.

So, what do you think of the new new XaraXone? I thank Chris and Arlen for letting me have my way with it and for bestowing upon me the title of the Cxar of the XaraXone.

Finally, I want to thank Xara Ltd., for their continued support. Be sure to drop in and check out their buyfont.com site and tell them the Cxar sent you.
