My day today? Nothing major, just Xenon base gone, Scorpio gone, 
Tarrant dead, Tarrant alive and then I found out Blake sold us out.

	[GZ is a term used when you have one BIG nuke and need to triage a
City, GEV's toss around a lot of little nukes. (So that future generations
might know all the joys mutation has to offer...)  -HJC]

<<[Gee, it costs my lab $3 for each full color full page printout.

 You might be surprised at the lack of sufficent interest.  SFB
supports several newsletters, but I gets ten times the traffic for SFB as I
do for GEV, and SFB has other, more official, net-channels.

 At it's height, Ogre/GEV never took over half the Space Gamer, the way
Melee-TFT or Car Wars did.  (Mostly because they supported expression of
ideals beyond their base, such as Deryni, Overmen, Superheroes and demon
mechanics...)

 Maybe the upcomming computer version will rekindle some spark, but if the
MS-WOS client does not have a seperate stand-alone mode (in addition to the
networked ability), I suppect that it's impact will be rather limited.

Well, we'll see. I working in the graphic/printing, and have access to all
kinds of goodies and 'favors'. Color printing done GTO-DI format (I've found
a new supplier!). With the recent installation of a Canon CLC350 with Fiery
200i, color copying pretty well free. Color is not an issue, yet, only if the
mag lasts more than a year! Another 2 options are: 1) Bung the whole lot of
ideas over to SJG and let em publish as articles in PYRAMID, 2) Go the
Postscript route, like I've seen for freebie microgames on the Net, or 3)
Maybe a portion of PYRAMID an be set aside every once in awhile for an Ogre
issue, or like they do for Car Wars. Or maybe 4), do what you're doing! Did I
say 2 options?

I've got enough poop scribbled on the kitchen tablecloth to keep things going
for a while anyway. With Winchell Chung, Mike and Kerry helping here and
there, it's worth a long-shot, right?

Cheers! - Richard

	[Well, why don't you exercise #4 to start, and offer an "at cost"
paper version to any interested parties?

	Just like cdrom.com sells quite a few CD's that have nothing that
is not offered freely on their FTP site.  -HJC]
