              FOR THOSE WHO CAME IN LATE ...

                   I have 
                    added to the Multimedia section again with some more pictures. 
                    This time I have some production pictures from the Phantom 
                    Serial, grabs from Defenders of the Earth and animation cells 
                    from the Phantom 2040.

                  I 
                  been very busy at the moment with work and stuff which explains 
                  the lack of updates lately ( I hope ), but after a while I should 
                  settle back into the swing of things. If I were to be able to 
                  create one ... would you want a Phantom screensaver and possibly 
                  a MS PLUS Theme to go with it? Let me know. If I don't get enough 
                  interest I won't bother. |

                   I 
                    hope you all enjoyed my last update (which was pretty big) 
                    ... the one that gave you access to lots of sounds and pictures 
                    from the Phantom Movie. I am trying to accumulate some stuff 
                    which relates to the Phatom 2040 cartoon series. If you have 
                    any media (it is very scarce) and you want me to host it here. 
                    Please contact me.

                |  On 
                  a more personal level, I installed Windows 2000 on my computer 
                  recently and to put it mildly ... well ... it rocks! It's much 
                  better than Win98 & definitly 95. There are a few compatability 
                  problems to iron out but apart from that I am very happy!!! |

                   If you 
                    are having problems with sounds 
                    from the Multimedia section the most likely cause was your 
                    download itself. I have double-checked the sounds myself. 
                    I recommend using a Download Manager like GoZilla or Getright 
                    which will allow you to retrieve lost downloads. You should 
                    be able to download these excellent programs from the TUCOWS 
                    sites.

                  You may have noticed that most of the Multimedia hasn't been 
                  accessible in the last week or so. This was necessary to creat 
                  room for much more content! I have now made some updates to 
                  the pictures 
                  and sounds 
                  sections which include some very high quality sounds from the 
                  (1996) Phantom movie, and some stills (pictures) also from the 
                  movie, respectively. Please enjoy!  |

              FOR THOSE WHO CAME IN LATE ... 
            
               
                |  
                   Sorry 
                    about the lack of updates to this site of late. But just because 
                    I am not updating doesn't mean I'm not listening to my visitor's 
                    concerns. There are a few matters to address. 
                  FIRST: 
                    There were some problems with people downloading incomplete 
                    copies of sounds from 
                    the Multimedia section. Let me please say that the sounds 
                    are ok and the most likely cause was your download itself. 
                    I have double-checked the sounds myself. If you have experienced 
                    problems with broken downloads then I recommend using a Download 
                    Manager like Go!Zilla or Getright. You should be able to download 
                    these excellent programs from the TUCOWS 
                    sites.

                  SECOND: 
                  I will be making some updates to the pictures 
                  and sounds sections which 
                  will include respectively some very high quality sounds from 
                  the (1996) Phantom movie, and some stills (pictures) also from 
                  the movie. Check back soon. | 
               
             
            THIRD: 
              There has been some discussion about getting our own exclusive Phantom 
              newsgroup. We need to get lots of discussion going about the Phantom 
              in the newsgroup: alt.comics.alternative. 
              Direct your newsreader to this address to post messages. If you 
              need a little help, go to our special 
              page. 
            FOURTH: 
              When is this list going to stop :P 
            FIFTH: 
              I am a little disillusioned in the current state of the Phantom 
              web ring and will be creating my own very soon. If you would 
              like to have an entry on this list then please stay posted. I will 
              be more stringent in adding new quality sites and getting rid of 
              dead wood which no longer has Phantom content. 
            There are a 
              few methods to get in touch with me (look @ the contact section): 
                1. Monkey Mail: quickest method to reach me via email. 
                2. the Chronicles: a good spot to leave comments about 
              the site. 
                3. Phantom Forum: a discussion group to converse with 
              other fans about anything related to the Phantom. Common topics 
              relate to merchandise. 
            All comments 
              allow me to cater more towards the needs of my visitors.

                   Well to 
                    get a point across: the new site is doing really well and 
                    is starting to get some more hits coming through.  
                  There 
                    was one unfortunate problem however, this site wasn't enhanced 
                    for Netscape users. It is fixed now but to all of the Netscape 
                    users out there I apologise profusely! The site should now 
                    look to you how it was originally meant to though. 
                   
                    the 
                    Phantom Phorum; is definitely looking like it was a good 
                    idea with a few people using it to query a few points. Well 
                    done! The Merchandise 
                    section has been updated. 
                  Thanks 
                    for all of the Birthday wishes that I received from everyone! 
                    One project that I am working on at the moment is the Phantom 
                    Lexicon. This will be an A - Z guide to everything and 
                    everyone in the world of the Phantom. Like an encyclopaedia. 
                    If you would like to contribute 
                    to this project please use the Monkey 
                    Mail to get in touch with me.  
                  Please 
                    give me as much feedback as you can through the Monkey Mail 
                    section. This will allow me to cater more towards the needs 
                    of my visitors.

                   Well apart 
                    from tomorrow (29-03-00) being my birthday I have added some 
                    more sounds to the Sounds 
                    section, as well as some extra info about the special type 
                    of WAV file found there. 
                  There 
                    is now a VERY complete 
                    chronicle of the Phantom's publishing history with FREW 
                    currently available. This took a fair while (as you could 
                    imagine) and I hope that it proves to be a valuable resource 
                    for Australian collectors and fans alike.

                   Work on 
                    the Phantom Lexicon is progressing very well. So far I have 
                    a fair bit of information going but I always need more! Please 
                    send me some info through the Monkey 
                    Mail. 
                  You may 
                    also notice that I have included a support 
                    section at the bottom of this page. Please use it if you 
                    feel you have gotten some useful information out of this site.

                   Well 
                    the new design has finally been completed. I am hoping to 
                    make the Phantom's World one of the most complete web 
                    sites about the Phantom out in the WWW. 
                  I 
                    hope that you will browse through all of our sections! 
                    The ones that stand out are: the 
                    Phantom Phorum; the Phantom 
                    Hotel; and the Sightings 
                    sections. Also the Slide 
                    Puzzle has 
                    been fixed to run on both Netscape and Internet Explorer. 
                    You still need to make sure you have the latest versions of 
                    either browser though.
