Oooooh, *MUCH* too cool. The trick now is getting a net connection.

A definite option... I've built some Klingon stuff here and there. Perhaps
a MOO; the programming for MOOs is nothing to sneeze at either.

Yes. No offence to Matt W, but that PC ftp doesn't agree with most ftp
clients I've used. We could use a nice, UNIX-y server, and it would be
easier to maintain.

Oh definitely. WWW is much too much in the public eye to pass up. When we
can get three or four pages up and running and get our name in the What's
New page, hold onto your betleHmey! You'll get more new people than you'll
know what to do with. I'll certainly write up some pages, or at least put
your text into HTML format, configure the server, etc.

It might be a good plan.
>We have already put in a request for the site name: KLI.org
Excellent. Have you looked into arranging net connection?

Erg, I'll see. I know I have some in my office... but they're the
company's, not mine. Hafta see...

You bet!
