#Monty Python

How many of you managed to get Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time CD-ROM for
the holidays? If Santa forgot to get this one for you do yourself an
incredible favor and pick this one up! For the animator you get hundreds of
Terry Gilliams animations. For the Python fan there are hours of footage from
the shows (admittedly small screen), sound bits, photos and many surprises.
Also on the disk comes the desktop Pythonizer with screensavers, phone
answering machine messages, icons, and sound effects. From the warning label:
Warning: This CD-ROM contains material that is in rather questionable
taste and may not be suitable for computer users under the age of 17 or

unsuitable for the prevention of disease. This CD-ROM is intended for the

Happy New Year!

Hi Bob,
Happy Holidays! I didn't get the CD, but have seen most of it.

Well worth many times the price for this alone. I have been a HUGE TG fan since
Python's early days. Although 2D, his creations really get your attention, and
invoke emotion. And that's what it's all about I guess. He is/was a very
gifted, creative individual, and was 'way ahead of his time with the animated
stuff. Of course, the skits are great too, but I've seen them so many times
it's pathetic.

You're a very, very, very, very silly man <g>.
BTW, have you heard they're making another movie with A Fish Called Wanda's
cast ?
I'm sorry, your time is up. You'll have to pay for another 5 minutes if you
want me to continue arguing with you <gg>

That's contradiction, not an argument!

No, it isn't.

Bob,

Yes, but I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquistion….
I bought it as soon as it hit the shelves. I like shooting the can-can girls
screensaver. Great idea – screen saver that's also a game of sorts. I was
hoping for more TV clips, but then I should probably go and buy/rent some video
tapes.

Its rare that I find a product which exceeds my expectations. The Complete
Waste of Time is quite a package. BURMA!
