Cool.  Please get in touch with Gary Wingert (I think that was Gary's
last name) on the list, to finalize designs, etc. [maybe incorporating
some of the images from the NetHawks Ts????].  Dave Berry is working
on a final tracklist.  Frank Weil offered to make copies of the final
design.

Muhahahahhaahhahahaahaha!  Sounds like we'll be in good shape :-)

Each set will be 3 tapes, and we have at least 35 or so requests
(including some contributors), call it 40 sets at present, so that's 120
labels.  I think it's probably better to take up Frank on his copying
offer rather than risk offending your employer :-)

OK.  Do people like the idea of using some of the NetHawks images?  Would
their original creators mind?

Thanks again, everyone, for your contributions, interest, and help!  Get
any final requests in this week, please, and contact Dave or I about any
last-minute additions to the set.

Allan.
