I spoke to him a couple of weeks ago. He is doing fine as far as I could tell. I understood him to say he was going to take some time away from the computer.
I talk to him close to everyday, getting the lowdown on what's going down, since we're with the same company. He's taking a break from EO, right now, and will be back in his own good time.
Tell Broompilot Hi for me. I hope he returns to EO soon. By the way, what ever happened to the old prof and Friscomike? I've been missing their posts too.
