Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Nautilus competition was Re: A bit of a stretch
Hi,
Ok. So it read more of my mail and looked at the site
http://home.att.net/~karen.crisafulli/nautilus.html. I do not believe I
could do any better. In fact probably not even close.
And our defacto resident Jules Verne's Nautilus expert has declined to
be judge.
So the comptition is off.
Regards,
Ray
