What's New Archive : (Last Updated: 06/08/04 01:00 AM EST)

• 10/12/01 - It's been a while since I've been active here. I've been caught up in work, and have cut back on NTN play down to one night a week, three if I'm lucky.  AARDVK has a really nice NTN newsletter that has lots of good info, which has helped me maintain this site without scouring the web for info. Thanks AARDVK!
