Whoops! I stand corrected. (I always wondered about the reason behind the name
of the @[log in to unmask] account.)

It's not that I'm *against* IGC (on the contrary, I was pretty interested in
the activities described on their web page and I intend to find out more about
them), but if someone sends mail asking for info on behalf of a company using
another company's address, I get suspicious. (Remember the HP World 97 CD?).

Thanks to Shawn Gordon and Gary Groves who also pointed out this fact.

I'll send my info ASAP, and my gripes about the incompatibilites between
Fantasia 3000 and Fantasia/UX, which I hope will be adressed in the new version
:-).

Cheers...                               Marco Zamora
