'endless mental masturbation'? heh... interesting way of putting it.
I have noticed that I've spent far too much time thinking and writing
about it and not enough working on my project, so, come june 14th, I will
begin serious effort to *DO SOMETHING* :)
I will note that since I have joined, I have completley scrapped my
original project, and started over from scratch, and have, in fact, made
some progress. I think the big thing is that we need to set a date for
when _something_ has to be done... and right now I am aiming for end of
calendar year 1998. We'll see if it pans out that way... :)

I think I might be even worse off if I hadn't joined up. All this talk
has gotten me good and tired of it, and I'm more than ready to just do it
(to borrow from Nike).

heh... as I said.. lets wait until dec 1998 / jan 1999 and see if I can't
add my name to that list.
I just need to get this pesky graduation thing out of the way first... and
then jobs and then moving off campus... and then... (blarg)
