Well, at least I have something to look forwards to.  It's like being 
undead right?

>(1) Did the scripts work ?

Your scripts helped me mod my own to actually create the database. 
I am currently narrowing down "why the hell does this thing crash on 
me every 25 minutes and who do I have to kill to make it not crash" 
and will now attempt to actually read the one record that I hope to 
have written to the database.  Not bad for 4 weekends of work huh?

>(2) Can your Mac - Director MX run a Win - Director 8.5 movie ?

Yes.  I have my Macromedia's DMX complimentary copy for beating the 
beta of DMX to a bloody pulp.

Can you feel the love in this email?  I mean, can you REALLY feel it?

Yessir and I live in the land of the yuppie scum too.  I'll be down 
yer way for American McGee's E3 party on the 15th - the 16th.  I 
think I owe you beer.  Or a servant girl.  I forget what is customary 
in LA but I shall make sure to procure what is considered the norm.

Back to making Director unexpectedly quit every 25 minutes.
