I'll take care of the last one. David Chang is still around; his last post is here:

You'll see what's busy taking up all his time now. It also has his e-mail in it (see last post for the correct one). He's doing well. He can't get to the wire from where he's at, apparently, we're considered 'subversive.' Of course that word just set off the alarms and banned it for another 6 months.

Now you're going to make me zip up this love-fest and e-mail it to him.

(I know it's an Eastly thing and all, but down in Texas, no meeting is complete with out Curtis Johnson and the VX'ers, although there's a good little group that goes out every somewhat reguarly.....mostly when when I'm not available.)
