- I yakked with Jim at the WOC show. He was working the CBM booth.
- I asked him what happened with 20,000 Leagues. He said he's still working
- on it on and off between other projects. He's settled all his differences
- with Disney and he might actually finish the game one of these years.

- ps.. the virus didn't "erase" his disks. He had a lot of custom bootblock
- code on his floppies and the old SCA virus stung him when he took the
- disks to an Aegis Development invitation-only show held at a movie
- theatre in Santa Monica, CA a number of years ago. The virus was on
- one of Aegis' machines and Jim shoved in his disk(s) and that was that.
- "Didn't he have any backups!?" I dunno..
