- On this whole Homer thing: I was told by Homer's creator that I might have
- some problems running it on my PowerBook 100. True, the title screen came
- up blank (although the About box, which I was told was the same as the title
- screen (same code, window, etc.), came up perfectly), and a couple of fancy
- buttons didn't work quite right, but it basically ran quite well. I was using
- the serial version and haven't tried the TCP version yet, but all in all it
- was quite nice.

- As to the programmer himself, lazy is possibly not the right word. Maybe
- prone to distraction. He gets distracted by beer. By Super Mario Cart and
- Street Fighter II on his SNES. By his overweight dog. By his research (he's
- a graduate student, you know), although this rarely happens. Yes, I think
- prone to distraction might be about right. When he does get around to working
- on Homer, though, he seems to produce great things.
