-------------- ANNOUNCEMENT CONCERNING CED MAGIC WEB SITE --------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The cedmagic.com domain has been transferred to Earthlink and is now
available, although there were a couple days when it was not functioning
as the new DNS propagated across the internet:

http://www.cedmagic.com/selectavision.html

The teleport.com address for CED Magic also still works despite
Earthlink's continuing claim that this domain was shut down on May 28.
I'll leave that site on-line for as long as Earthlink keeps it active,
but will only update the site at cedmagic.com.
