[hey... that means 5-10 seconds work each day!] :-) :-) :-) <--- look!!

Ok, we have a direct Internet connection, and there are also some people
here who know a bit about NeWS. I am nominating my colleague
Mark (acerbic keys) Smith  - smith@canon.co.uk - to moderate the group

So how do we do this?
