And I a white painter's cap with the red Xy superimposed over a purple W (the
XyWin logo, PLUS a button, produced for a post-TTG-takeover "alumni" party
that says "Once a Xyquestrian Always a Xyquestrian." And the yo-yo. And a
Signature pen. Nya Nya.

[I think the point of this "bragging" is to underscore our affection and
nostalgia for the Xywrite of the "old days." The PC Magazine mention
certainly brought back some great memories. I feel that our affection is
often lost on the new owners -- the fiercest of loyalties from old-timers
won't help TTG's bottom line. But I hope Dave E. gets *some* pleasure out of
knowing that there's this band of XyFans and perhaps even some vicarious
pleasure out of the buzz and stir that NBWin has caused.]
