** IMPORTANT NEWS FROM NOPHI HQ IN SOUTH FLORIDA **

On October 23, Hurricane Wilma slammed into the southern
area of Florida, spreading destruction from the west coast to
the east coast. Our benevolent leader, Randy Garcia, has been
hit extremely hard by Wilma, and is unable to receive demos,
email, phone calls, and many of the other things most of us
take for granted. He has lost his house along w/several other
Nophi artists, and like many in their community, are doing
everything they can just to band together and survive. They
are among the 6 million+ without power, and it looks as if this
will continue for up to a month.

Randy & friends are alive & OK, but Fort Lauderdale has been
devastated.

There's entire communities of people much worse off than
our friends here at Nophi, so please give what you can to
the Red Cross or other charities.
