Dan,
Thanks for the post! All the info I'd hoped for and more. Now I need to
get some DL time then some play time. Sorry to hear you're w/o GPL for a
while. I feel your pain, brother.

>>Ruud, I'm depressed...I mean impressed! Yeah, both.
>>What is the "USB Overdrive util" you mention?  Is it OS X? OS 9? Part of

>>The Racer files are also cross-platform compatible, as I understand it.

Herwig,

I count 5 of us so far. If it gets any more trendy than that, I'm outa

Maybe we could all (5!?!) inundate Ruud so he knows his Mac work is
appreciated.

(Same here, unfortunately)

Yo!  <Waves hand>

I've found another couple in our national Dutch Mac newzgroup, so don't
go there then  ;)

Thanks  ;)  Oh, the other Ruud you mean. Yeah. Well, I mail him
regularly but I think he gets a lot of mail. Nevertheless, a *short* Mac
thankyou message would be an encouragement I guess. Racer/Mac needs it.

Regards, Ruud
