Dear Sandy,
   This was sent (at my suggestion) from the CIT Multimedia Lab by an
ACTLab fan you've never met. Apparently he forgot to change the
identity properties in Netscape before firing off his message.
   I told him yesterday to stop by after our class if he's interested in
Utopia. It sounds like you have good news so I hope he shows up.
   Sorry for the confusion.
