Courtesy of Micah, of the Xcomufo site!

All the old fiction's still there...I've done some minor updates to the site
itself, I'll add more content (I had a little in storage  ;) ) over the
coming weeks as I finish updating it and fixing any broken stuff...

Groovy.  I am glad to remember that I never submitted any of my stuff :)

Um, while it works fine in Lynx and Konquerer the site seems to crash my 
Firefox, which is most bizarre (running on Debian Linux, I will try and 
remember to give it a go on my W2K install later).

Wow, you read minds as well.  Maybe you are an Ethereal come to torment 
us, death by a thousand tiny cuts and all that.

Maybe Ethereal Bob knows you?

Has anyone heard from Dr. Bob of late, anyhow? I was clearing out some 
files and found an email from him, years back...

That's why I keep AGX on the list of newsgroups to read. Every once in a 
while, someone activates the way-back machine by mentioning Bob, 
Detonate, etc.

And I'll check out the site... it might give me a reason to dust off my 
X-COM: UFO CD any play again... and finish up that story I was working on.

Hmm, that reminds me, wonder if I have any of my old X-Com fic I was 
working on.  I was gonna do soemthing long at one point, but never 
managed to finish it.  I'll have to see if I still have it.

Ah, the good old days, when it seemed like we were gonna get a good 
X-Com game.

Go for it!  I've not had the chance to do much more than iron out any last
bugs on the site and update the infrastructure a little, so it'd be good to
have the excuse to do a proper update  ;)
