I have put up a Registrar's page at
www.ackanomic.org/~rufus/acka/registrar.html . It is designed to be viewed
with my favorite web browser, Lynx. If you use oneof the ones which require
a rodent, it should be fine as well. Please let me know of problems, etc.

Hey, doesn't anybody want a magic letter? Send in your bids!
JT is ineligible to bid this time due to having chosen the last magic
letter in January.

This letter is selected, and rufus pays his bid (which was A$15 - the
minimum bid for a "t").
I believe there were some t's in the truth:
IF AND ONLY IF today ** ****** ** ***t***** t** *** ***** ******* ****** **,
THEN the Machine That Goes *ping* shall go *ping*.

Do you have a list of when the machine went *ping*, or do I need to go dig in
the archives?
