 [ Summary: Feels confident that Babylon 5 will win next year's Hugo as well,
   as there's no real competition this year. ]

      Actually, B5 will be going up against ID4 next year.

Joe:

I think I've found the problem with the Web page.  Java is not enabled in the
16-bit version of Netscape (per the README file with Navigator 3.0).  This
means that only Win95 and other 32-bit OSes will be able to access the site.
Now, I don't mind being told that I have to use a certain browser, but to be
forced to use a specific operating system bugs me.  Could you pass this info
onto the web developers so they can try to make the site a bit more friendly?

      I don't understand how this can be, since I use Netscape 2.0 on Windows
3.1 and the java stuff works fine.

                                                                    jms


 [ Summary: Tells JMS that ID4 isn't really much competition, and that he
   has "yet to see anything else on either the small or large screen that 
   comes close to even an average B5, and it's already October." ]

       Thanks...we'll see what happens.

       Again, I think we're more on the same side of the issue than not...I'd
just point out a very basic truism that does, or should, matter.

       If producers are more aware of SF novels, and SF writers, they will
likely option more properties for film and TV.  If they're not, they will
option fewer.  That's an absolute loss of income to SF writers.

       But it's their business, not mine.

                                                                       jms


 [ Summary: A poster who had previously mentioned that there were seven
   walkers opposing the riders in Lord of the Rings, corrects himself by
   stating that there are actually nine walkers.  He's unable to recall 
   the name of the ninth walker, however. ]

       You're forgetting Boromir, who was killed by Orcs after trying to grab
the ring.  Most people forget him since he never made it through the
story...sort of the Pete Best of the heroic fantasy genre....

                                                                       jms

       I think it starts with the first batch of season 4 episodes.

                                                                       jms
