So, you live on the edge, huh? You like high technology? You live a 300Mhz lifestyle, you use your Personal Digital Assistant every day, you use a web crawler to find the latest games? Or, at the very least, you WANT all that stuff? And, especially, you like Quake or Quake 2, nay, you LOVE Quake or Quake 2, with a love so deep and strident that you are embarrassed to admit it in public, a love so strong that you ignore your partner who actually wants to have sex with you, just so you can gib one more llama?
Cool. This page wants YOU! (Oops, sorry about the frilly red font. Guess I'm just a rebel at heart.)
As a mod author, I've sometimes found it difficult to find people to help test the product before it's released. Other mod authors have the same problem, especially those who aren't hosted by a major site.
This page aims to link the beta testers with all the cool new Quake mods out there that are still in development. (Ah, bold, now that ain't a frill like a red font is!)
Mod authors can email me if they want to add to the list.

For you whiners out there who would complain that a table is a frill, notice I'm not using any fancy background colors in the cells or anything like that. This table is fully HTML 2.0 compatible, and HTML is now up to what, 3? 4? So *there*.
Please forgive this counter's frillishness. I have this thing about wanting to know how many people visit this page. Maybe it's tied into my sense of self worth or something, I don't know.
