If nothing else, just copy the contents into a new HTML document that contains a meta tag like this one: IE4 or better works nicely with this.

I can't promise that we'll be able to accomodate all tastes, but the pub that is hosting our event (Friday, Feb. 16, starting time TBA, probably 5pm) has promised a special "Fru-brew" and several others on tap. Any suggestions? Toronto is a great beer city, and I'm hoping we'll have at least one great local brew (in addition to Fru-brew.) I've become a big fan of the Granite Brewery. But my personal favorite among Canadian beers is Le Fin du Monde, a terrific Belgian style beer brewed I think in Quebec. I was thrilled to find it served at an art gallery cum rave hall here in San Francisco a few months ago. What do some of the others around here like?

Amy, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy frucon 3. Obviously you must make the decision as to whether going to con 4 is worth your time and money, and there are lots of factors that do play into that such as your current interest level in the band and in the fruhead community. However as a member of the committee that puts a hell of a lot of effort into staging this thing for all fruheads, without getting a hell of a lot of thanks for the effort, I do take exception to your disparaging the con. If it isn't right for you, fine. I understand that. However, I would really appreciate it if you would keep the derogatory comments to yourself as they are hurtful to me and to others. Constructive criticism, on the other hand, is always welcome. Send it to frucon@egroups.com. Thanks. A.J. - -- "I know there is a lot of ambition in Washington, obviously.
