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 chartered public accountants of any age. This CD-ROM is also unsuitable for use when submerged in water or in close proximity to open flame. Also unsuitable for the prevention of disease. This CD-ROM is intended for the amusement of mature adults and has no redeeming feature whatsoever. Happy New Year! Bob

Hi Bob, Happy Holidays! I didn't get the CD, but have seen most of it. << For the animator you get hundreds of Terry Gilliams animations. >> 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. << 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 chartered public accountants of any age.

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> BILL

Bob, >> How many of you managed to get Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time CD-ROM for the holidays? << 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.

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