  XSWEEKLY Shell Related News 16.12.00 - 22.12.00
 -------------------------------------------------

	I know this is a really skimpy letter, but I'm lucky that I
got it out at all.  It was such a crazy week for me.  The holidays
just become a blur now which really sucks because I like to enjoy
these times with my wife and daughter.  I had such a blast playing
with her in the snow this past week.  I just wish that time would
slow down during times like that instead of flashing by.

	Have a Happy Holiday everyone!

- LSD4P 1-800 Line ~ whytheluckystiff (20.12 ls)

	Seems that why has set up a 1-800 VoiceXML Line.  This is the first
	of its kind in any of the communities.  From his site:
	
	"Admist other things, I started playing around with VoiceXML and I
	decided to open this 1-800 line for people who are active in LSD4P.
	Right now I'll be posting some news there.  There is a brief
	installation dialog and a little synopsis on this project. It's not
	tremendously useful, but it's sorta cool."
