Hi there,

 For all you users looking for an MSN client that isn't a console app, try using amsn off a box that has X11 with CoXist. Don't forget to export the display to the NeXT OS and run xhost everybody via the menu in CoXist. It seems to run quite nicely (and I've blown my TFT screen and my laptop display two nights ago so I need as many working modern apps as possible running via X11 on the Cube... so short on cash and working machines right now :/ ). Anyway, it's nuts what you can do on a 68040 nowadays!

I'll try and see what I can do about a pic with my mobile phone. Good thing sshd still works on the laptop, I should be able to transfer stuff over to the Cube for upload to flickr.

I've fixed the laptop, so this project isn't super high priority anymore (crazy what some very careful reassembly can do). But I will have some pics on Monday once I'm back from a music festival.
