Re: [DMCForum] Project FoxFire?

[Jon Heese <dmcforum@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Umm... I think you mean Firefox:

http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

But if you want to talk about the term "Foxfire", I'm always game for a 
little Angelina Jolie reference:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116353/

Incidentally, I remember hearing about (and watching) this movie when it 
came out because I remember thinking, "Jon Voight made *her*?  Nice... 
Whoa! Jon Voight made *those*?  Good lord!" (hint: you see her hoo-hoos 
in it)

Regards,
Jon Heese
