Two DVD reviews: I've completed reviews of Shakespeare In Love and The Man in the Iron Mask, both excellent period pieces.

New CCF files: A few new or updated CCFs for this week, including files by Chris Cohen, Dale Crawford (cool new set of graphics!) and Jean-François Mercier.

I've finally posted my own new CCF file. This one is a complete redesign of the previous config, with all new graphics and a surrounding user interface. The button shapes and styles are the same, however they're now slightly smaller and more consistent in 3D shading. They work well on the Pronto's screen (which is quite limited in how accurately or consistently it reproduces grayshades... something I learned the hard way on an earlier prototype design!). The gallery file I've included contains all of the current and previous buttons I've ever created. Be sure to hit the VCR Record button(s) for a few additional hidden images! I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions.

Faster forum list: I've replaced the previous program which listed the forum names and how many messages were in each with a new one (just finished writing it!) that is much faster - it takes less than a quarter of the original time to run.
