The race is heating up for the best Browser award. Netscape and Microsoft are moving the game ahead very quickly. It seems Java will be the standard for everyone. Those of us still using 68k Macs, might be wondering what Java is!

We just got word that the brilliant musician, composer and record producer Bernard Edwards passed away while in Japan last week.
I understand that Bernard had only recently completed the new Power Station LP with John and Andy Taylor and was in Japan for a concert with his old freind Nile Rogers, who was his partner in the ground breaking group Chic.
I know that Bernard will be deeply missed by all his family, freinds and fans. It is truly tragic to loose such a talented human being in the prime of his life.

Why is it acceptable to murder when the killers are wearing uniforms?

Well done Jacques! Winning in Germany cannot be easy for anyone but Michael. One point though, would Michael have been that close to Damon had he not run into trouble?
