A HUMOROUS MONKEY NOTE:

Okay, I'm usually a pretty nice guy, but I've been quite down on the French for a while.... Sorry.
I mean, all the French people that I've met here were, er, well..... SNOOTY.

That is, until I found the brilliant astronomy program Stellarium.... Written by a brilliant French person, I now embrace the French people with massive gusto.

Vive la bagette! Vive la pomme de terre, mon amis!

A bottle of wine, wedge of cheese, a loaf of fine french bread, and Stellarium for all!

Vive la Stellarium!

( Note: No French people were harmed in the making of this NFO or Stellarium.... )


This is a Multi-Platform MEGA MONKEY RELEASE....

This proggie is just so good that EVERYONE should have it.

I'll have to break it down into three different Operating System releases , maybe....



Just Download it, you really will love it.
