   Huh? ;)

   I have it here on my desktop, because I actually worked on a transcription   
   into German hundreds of years ago and I'm a bit frustrated because it took   
   THEM [tm] so many years to get to this point (Briefcase, Final Cut,   
   Trilogy Soundtrack, the whole thingamabob) and I have not been able to   
   complete the $%&$%& translation. :-/   
      
   My only relief lies in the fact that even if I had managed to finish   
   translation on time, the contents would be completely outdated by now,   
   which brings us to... :)   
      
   > I'm not just asking what you would like to see added (obviously, info on   
   > the FC will have to be added, among other things.)   
      
   ...the alterations in the coding sequence, *erm*, the FAQ:   
   Boy, this needs updating now.   
      
   The whole Deck-a-Rep debate has to be re-evaluated.   
   There's a ton of behind-the-scenes info that came to light.   
   The Egyptian's story...   
   ...and on and on...   
      
   I suggest at least three passes:   
      
   - identify all information/paragraphs as valid (it's still the same, no   
   need to change anything) or in need of a) adjusting b) outright correction   
   or c) simply expansion   
   - identify totally new stuff (like the FC) that has to be included   
   - go throughthe whole thing and include all these changes   
      
   *phew*   
      
   You know, I guess that's one of the reasons why Mr. you-know-who just had   
   the resources to add a chapter and a couple of appendices and treat the   
   remainder of the book as a "period" piece... ;) ;) ;)

   > So, let me know your thoughts!   
      
   Sure, if I'm in the mood I'll look through the thing again...   
      
   Have a better FAQ,
