Subject: [alt-beam] Re: History of Beam (was Beam genome)
Thanks for your help TurtleTek: well stated and a heart of gold for sure
(we know about your sick turtle).
As for that small god status, aaargh! no thanks! I haven't been here
_that_ long! Even "micro deities" have a habit of making a big splat
when falling from their pedestals. Just one of the guys who means well,
no axe to grind, having a lot of fun but taking up a tad too much
bandwidth ( there, I did it again ).
And now for something completely different:
This group as whole with minor exceptions is hungry for any information
about Beam (past, present and future) or else we would not subscribe to
this list would we. So a little Beam history , some useful tips, and a
small progress report from Mt. Olympus, as a small token, would not fall
on deaf ears.
There it is Dave, in 2 sentences no less, no more.
enjoy
