So it's been a decade...
Rob:
Glad to see you are still driving an ACVW. It has been a while. I remember the links page. That was back when the internet was still fairly new and free server space on Geo Cities and other servers was plentiful. If I remember right, Geo Cities was bought by Yahoo at some point.

On Geocities I was just "aussiebug" but when yahoo took over it would not let me continue with that handle so I had to become "aussiebug1970" - which refers to the year of my first bug - which, as mentioned above, I still own :-) It's not my birth year as some might think - got to go back to the dark ages of 1949 for that one!
