I remember visiting with Bob Stein somewhere about that time. I recall him
showing us his new media building toolkit, and being rather unimpressed by

I hope quark used its ownership of mTropolis for more than market culling. I

The last time I had anything to do with Voyager was at MacWorld in
San Fransico about 1991 or 92 when I was showing my new electronic

I chanced across an old topic to do with the Voyager Expanded Books,
I think someone was asking about whether it would be possible to do
