I am reposting, for those who missed it, my WWW page ad...  it has info 
on just about everything, as you will see in the ad below.  Please check 
it out, link to it in your own pages, whatever...   Thanks!

ANNOUNCE:     --==**<  http://www.infinet.com/~rbatina  >**==--

If you would like to check out another page, filled with links to a
bunch of kewl/dumb/neat/useful/useless stuff, please make a note of
the address above.  It is my home page, and here are some of the included
links that it has in it...

      * Roberto's Candy Bar Collection - updated regularly. (see below)
      * The OJ Simpson Page - updates from the trial via Time/Warner.
      * Figlets - will automatically change your text into Figlet fonts.
      * What's Roberto Been Up To? - dialy update of my life (joy.)
      * The Classic Video Game Homepage - ATR/COL/INT/ODD/VECT/etc
      * MadLibs - online selection of 20+ automatic MadLibs.
      * The Magic 8-Ball - answers your 'yes or no' type questions.
      * The List of Things People have Crammed up their Butts - 'nuff said.

My personal project on my home page is:

  "The Status of Roberto's Candy Bar Wrapper Collection"

I have recently started saving the wrappers of the many candy bars that I
have eaten, and I am now keeping track of which ones I have, and I am
putting the list up on the web.  Readers are encouraged to send in any
additional wrappers that I do not have yet.  This is definately a candidate
for one of the most useless pages on the web.  :)   (And it must be, 
since it recently made the Useless WWW Pages guide.)

Also in my page, you will find a lot of info about Commodore computers,
Amiga computers, and Atari products...  files, info, faqs, etc....

You'll find it here.  And if you don't find what you want, I have a link to
the Yahoo guide, so you will be able to search for it.   :)

 So, please visit:

Thanks...                                                   Robert Batina

   Well thank God - the world is now safe from democracy.

   Wait a minute, MY page has 'just about everything' on it.  Hmmm ... 
this could be a copyright violation.

   It's bad netiquette to post stuff about what's on your Web page.  I 
know this for a fact because people email me about it every time I do it.

>ANNOUNCE:     --==**<  http://www.infinet.com/~rbatina  >**==--

   Tuh-dah.

   That gives me an idea.  How about the OJ candy bar?  It melts in your 
mouth, not in your glove.  Save up 100,000 wrappers and you get a white 
Ford Bronco.

   I thought it had something to do with small figs.

   I asked the Magic 8-Ball if it was full of BS, and it said 'yes'.

>      * The List of Things People have Crammed up their Butts - 'nuff said.

   I can't think of a way to parody the above two lines.

   Ah, now there's a fine site.

   You'll spend so much time taking these tests, you won't have time to 
be impure.

>      * Homepages: Tori Amos, Genesis, Elton John - musicians, duh.

   We'll be the judge of that.

   I'll notify Dan Rather.

   Look at it this way gang, he's not walking the streets.

   Wow, a link to Yahoo, somebody hand me a pen.

   The first 1,000 visiters will receive, almost free, a lifetime supply 
of candy bar wrappers.

Don't be so hard on the guy...He tooks the time to create a page that he 
thought might be useful to others.  It might not be what you're looking 
for but someone else might find it usefull.
