Ah, nice, I will spend the next week dreaming of a @a.o mail address...
Actually, the bugs.a.o would be really good. I would also suggest
a site development.a.o or something like that for the latest
news on the development of AS.

So, you have a possibility to connect a *server* to the net
for meager 500 bucks? A year? America really is a country of
endless possibilities. I would have to be a fsking millionaire
to do that in Europe. It would cost you that or more *a month*.
Stop complaining, it is cheap.
On the other hand, why do not we organize the Red Step company
that will commercialize and sell AfterStep all over the world?
We have people from evrywhere - it is bound to be a success!
First, we will have to do an IPO, then hire some people from
WM developers to work on AS and then we just relax and collect
the money. Does this sound like a good idea?

Yes, we can do that and much more :) If you tell me what exactly
you want to do I might be able to tell you exactly how to do it
and give you the DNS configuration files filled in.

This is one of my biggest worries. I wish I could help...
I'll talk to people around and see if anybody is interested
in learning xlib...
Good luck,
