Hello all,

Tomorrow (June 8) is RAWA's birthday. For those new to the lyst,Richard A. Watson, Cyan Programmer, has been an active member and constant source of information since days of yore. The amount of time he spends sharing and building relationships with fans is unprecedented and deeply appreciated.

A few of us got together via email over the past week or two to try to come up with something meaningful and fun to do for RAWA. We have a web page at http://barkley.ccbi.cmu.edu/webdes/rawacard.html that is a simple birthday wish. Please come sign the card. With Doug McBride's help, this email is being filtered from RAWA's mailbox so we can surprise him with the site tomorrow. Likewise, if you have any questions or concerns, PLEASE DON'T DISCUSS THEM ON THE LYST where RAWA might be lurking. Feel free to email Bill at [email protected] with technical problems or questions.

I have been in contact with the folks at Land of Point regarding their website. The current site is being updated as we speak ( write ) and so expect a site upgrade likely by the end of the week. These "creative" people have lots on the go and I share everyones enthusiasm about upcoming changes.

Talk to you all soon
