RE: [Nicole-users] Just wondering...

[<nic...@li...>]

Done :-) and it works quite well....

I think my user base will be small enough so that I know them and have
the ability to almost censor what is said to Nicole... Having said that,
I have downloaded the databases from the sourceforge site, so she might
be "contaminated".

The pages weren't that bad, I mean as long as it works, there's no point
in being fancy... Fancy just covers up things that don't work!

Just wish my programming skillz (or lack of them) were better, and I'd
help out.. Still in the early stages of learning java! (done some C &
PHP tho.)
