	Just for the information of those out there, Photon will be
	starting up here in Toronto sometime in late June or early
	July (as my latest rumour scrounging results have revealed).

	Requests for information should be sent to the following
	address:

		Photon
		Attn: Mr. Lawrence Levier

		1753 Albion Rd.
		Rexdale, Ontario
		Canada
		M9V 1C3

	The cost of a game will be $3.50 (Cdn. not even real money! :-)).
	This will buy you 6 minutes of play time on one of two fields
	they say will be in operation (they only have one completed now).
	I am assuming that they will be doing the same number here as in
	Dallas; that is, having you buy a "worldwide" player's card which
	will have your name encoded into it somehow.

	I have no official contact with the folks over at Photon, but
	do have a fairly accurate pipeline of info.
