The Older Updates...

December 31, 2001

-My Christmas present to all the Spectra users... the band limit hack has been compiled and posted, you can find a link off the Spectra page

-Just some notes as we close out 2001 and head into 2002.

This has been another busy year for all of us here at Batwing Laboratories. There have been a number of challenges and achievements over the past year. There is always the ongoing flood of incoming information and email that gets back logged, there also have been a number of ISP related troubles. On the positive side we have had some excellent support from a number of individuals making donations to help keep us BANNER AD FREE! We have also had some very much appreciated support from those hosting our discussion forums and newly added space for the gallery.

We are all looking forward to 2002 and what it may bring. There is a LOT of stuff that needs to get posted to the web page, as well as the large number of emails that haven't been answered yet. Rest assured that it is an ongoing process and, even though it may be slow at times, it will get done.

Everyone's support of the site is greatly appreciated by all of us here, and in turn has a direct impact on benefiting every one who visits looking for information and answers. Keep it up!
