Recently Katarina (kkw@cscwam.umd,edu) posted a message she had 
recevied concerning a software product called 'mix'. Given the
content of the message, its timing, and the grin at the end, I took
it to be an April fool's joke (remember last year's April Buzzings).

I then posted a "I'll play along" follow-up message stating that I
had ordered mix and expected to get it (with tongue in cheek) "when
it became available"(which I took to be never.) I apologize for this
message and the confusion it has cause. I have contacted kkw and she
believes the message to her about mix was *not* a joke. I still
have my doubts about mix, but to make amens for my faux pax I plan to 
run down any info I can find on mix and post it to the net. Unfortunately
(so far) my mail to the German company that is said to be producing the 
mix product have bounced. Stay tuned.

Sorry, sorry, sorry,

Charlie
