9891 Tue, 8 Feb 2000 10:14:24 -0800 [alt-beam] BEAMLAND gets a facelift... "'beam@sgiblab.sgi.com'" "Feser, Jason" Well, I'm back after half a year of 'other stuff' I've optimized my site
and gave it a facelift, so if you 28.8 users could check it out and let me
know if it's still too graphics intensive...
Thanks.
