	I have been in and out of the #appleiigs on the InterNet for a
while, but since the time-zone here in Australia (Oz Eastern Time) is far
away from the others, I can't be helped at all when no-one's home.

	Those that comes in from Oz : kngfishr *me* (Brisbane, Queensland),
GSWombat (Adelaide, Southern Australia), slimer (Canberra, Australian
Capital Territory), stu (Canberra, Australian Capital Territory) just to
name a few more regular ones.

	I also know of from Singapore : dotw (GS Invaders *thanks* ! Hope to
see Defender of the World soon !), ltchean (Mandlebrot GS & SuperMagic),
fender (wonder if he is still on ?), mac (new fella).

	I so far, am not disappointed with the fellas in #appleiigs, though
some can really make up run up the wall talking to one or two of the fellas,
but there are always a little black sheeps amongst all white ones.

	'kngfishr' or 'kf' on #appleiigs
