Well, this certainly got out late, there are lots of reasons, but mostly we've had the worst luck an e-mag can have. I (Brent) lost my harddrive to a crash, (so did kuru later on ;}). We had to wait for MANY people to finish writing articles, and on top of all that, I (Brent) have a (sort of) job, and jobs come first.
Enjoy the second issue, sorry about the wait, and we will do our best to get it out on time in the future!

P.S.
There have been some minor formatting changes, away from some <PRE> formatting style and towards real HTML. This issue was given to me so I could do last minute proofreading, formatting, and organizing - I have taken the liberty of making some formatting modifications. The original reason for the straight text formatting was so that we could support text-based browsers like Lynx. While this is an admirable goal, I think we need to realize that Lynx is an HTML browser - it does a very good job of formatting HTML to be readable on a CRT screen. So, if Lynx can handle HTML formatting, why write everything in plaintext? Most of the articles are still in plaintext (because formatting C code is a pain). Hope you like the facelift. -------------------------------------------Chad Loder
