[DM-MUG] For those in K-12, free Macs

[Richard Twohy]

Holly Welch, you marvelous techno-film wizard and
Solar-3rd-rock-class Teacher:  I'll have to miss the
June 2nd Film Festival -- including (-I've heard...)
more than one World Premiere by a 14-yr-old heir to
Kubrick.  But I sure will insist on hearing about it,
the next time they let me out of Iowa City.
      Kick butt (sil vous plait),
      and have a good time-!!  -- Richard Twohy
