20-03-2002:

• Sad news for MacOSX lovers everywhere.
  The promised OOOk Default: fun-app™ is behind schedule. This is due to the fact that the production iBook was stolen some time ago and there was no adeqaute backup procedure in place (extremely stupid, we know).
  On a brighter note the iBook has been replaced by a TiBook and we have also added a brand new G4 to the OOOk Default: Mac-farm.
  Work on a completely rewritten program has begun.
