DJ -Welcome back to the update channel with Carl and Don. We have some information to share with you that answers many questions that have been asked, so let us tell you that the update reports will continue while the car is undergoing refinements and is being shipped to China. Every other day we'll bring you information that is pertinent to the preparation and to all of the activity surrounding the race event. Preparations have been underway for several months and in the case of the organizers, a few years and we thought you would benefit from hearing about some of that preparation. For example, a lot of attention has been paid to health and related health issues. Currency is a consideration, moving in and out of 13 countries, how currency is going to be managed with a minimal of hassles. Documentation and visas that are required has had melodrama associated with it, particularly because of the current events in Iran and the prevailing attitude of China. For tonight we want to report to you that the update reports will continue to be available and we hope that you'll benefit by staying up with the information that we intend to share with you. We'd like to comment tonight about the computer web site, www.newyorktoparis1997.com. For those of you who have computers, there are some aspects of the web site that are really quite fascinating. For example, you'll find many comments from people who have logged into the web site and signed the "Guest Book". These comments have come from people all over the world. Friends and family of Carl, business acquaintances and people who have seen the car with the identity of the web site and have jotted down the information, gone to their computer and tuned in or logged on and left comments. It's really been rather fascinating to see some of these comments which have come from San Francisco, Chicago and from New York. It's been rather remarkable. Another feature of the web site that I found personally startling was that the Wisconsin Network staff, headed by Rick Kolstad, who are maintaining and managing the web site, have added some photographs of the trip. These are photos that I personally took, but I have not seen the photos since they were returned for development and some of the photos were selected and placed on the web site. So I literally, in visiting and browsing the web site Monday evening, saw some of the photographs that I took for the first time and photos that I have never seen myself, I had observed inserted with text comments on the web site. Quite a remarkable movement of information. We intend to continue that with the use of digital photography. It's going to be our effort to try to capture images digitally from Peking to Paris and then to transmit them by computer back to the Wisconsin Network staff and then onto the web site for you to see first hand. Our own sort of version of outerspace image capturing and image sharing. It remains to be seen if we can accomplish that - whether it's by digital camera or by the quick transportation of film and then placing it on the web site. So those are some insights about the movement of information and images concerning the Around The World trip.

We've also added something which should be a major convenience for those of you who are accessing the update reports through the toll free phone number. Additional channels will make it possible for you to receive the updates without getting a busy signal. Quite to our surprise the popularity of the updates created a situation where folks were getting busy signals before they could get into the update report. That should now be eliminated as a result of additional telephone channels being added, which we're told will reduce the number of busy signals.

On Monday evening, I had the pleasure of watching the Hollywood version of "The Great Race", a movie about the theme of The Great Race from New York to Paris. While it's not a documentary of the actual race, it does use the occasion of the race as a theme for a Hollywood spoof and comedy featuring Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Natalie Wood. Warner Brothers Classics has the movie available at any of the video stores and I found a Blockbuster store that had the film for $9.95 and purchased a copy. I'd recommend it. It's light, funny and a little different era of film making and it is based on the theme of Around The World - New York to Paris, which makes it just that much more interesting. There are also some books on the 1907 and 1908 races that are available in libraries and a couple of current issues done in the 1960's. We'll report those titles, publishers and authors to you at another time. I want to finish this report by again reminding you that it is our intent to carry on with the updates here for the period until the race reconvenes in Peking and additional channels have made it convenient for you to gain access. We're glad you joined us for this update and come on back again for another in the next 24 to 48 hours. On behalf of Carl, this is Don saying so long.
