Well, this pack has finally arrived.  If you've been following M1 at
all recently, you'll notice that we're a little bit late on this latest pack...
I shouldn't really say we, as it's mostly my fault.  I've been swamped with
personal issues recently, and I've had little or NO time to do any art or
put the pack together...  So, this is my humblest apology to all people in M1
and all those who have anticipated this pack.  I have no apologies to anyone
who doesn't care. :)

It has been an eventful few months.  First off, we picked up a GREAT
new member named Macabre (muh-cohb).  He's a great coder, and he was nice
enough to code an application generator as well as a viewer, which, not to
toot M1's horn, is one of the better ones in the scene. :)  His previous
alias was Negative Kreep, but he now goes by Macabre.

We also picked up a reletively old person to the scene, but new to
the VGA scene.  It is Anarchy X, an artist who I have known and respected
for many years, and who has just recently picked up VGA as a second art form.
As you can tell from the one thing submitted this month, he's quite a talent.

I also direct your attention to one of the things that has been
occupying a LOT of my time.  The Official Maiten1 web site.  The URL is:
http://www.geocities.com/Paris/7253.   We'll be moving that site shortly, so
keep your eyes open.  I'll be sure to make all those who are watching know
when/if it changes.    The site is not even CLOSE to being finished, but I've
gotten some pretty good art on there thus far, and I plan on putting more and
more on as I can get time to.  Please check it out, since you'll be able to
leech the packs from there as they arrive, rather than calling ZeitGeist or
watching for murC on IRC, who is rarely on... IRC is really lame as of late.

Another thing to be watching out for is Opium Oxide.  As you may, or
may not be aware, Opium Oxide is a new mag that M1 will be putting out as
soon as we can.  Bug will be the coordinator of this effort, and all
questions can be routed to her, as I know little about it. :)  I will
attempt to put this mag on the web site, if it ever comes out, with all of the
articles, and perhaps some art... if I can. :)

Well, enough of my babbling, I'll let you check out the art.
