        Version 2.0 REMIX - November 20, 1999
                       

  -UPDATE-

  Congratulations!  It's twins!

  Major Tom now exists in two flavors, ORIGINAL & REMIX.

  I like both, so rather than supplant the orignal I'm
  making both available so that you may choose.

  Anybody with Winamp 2.x may able to enjoy this, but
  why not download Winamp 2.5 anyhow?  It's free now.

  -OVERVIEW-

  MAJOR TOM is an homage to the US space program.
  It's derived from NASA's Apollo-era control 
  consoles.

  It features all windows and windowshade modes.

  Sorry, but there are no cursors.  If enough people
  desire some, I'm sure I could be swayed to create a 
  set.

  Graphics (c) 1999 by Stephen Moss.  All graphics
  are original, and were created in Adobe Photoshop 5.

  -REMIX-

  Major Tom Remix is a 'people's choice' if you will.
  Based on people's comments, I've rebuilt the titlebars
  from the ground up, making them match the pre-existing
  Playlist and Minibrowser windows.

  Some suggested changes I've decided not to incorporate. 
  I did not want to compromise the general integrity of
  the design.  To be true to the vintage NASA technology
  I'm paying tribute to, I cannot use symbols instead of
  text on buttons, nor can I enlarge the text on said 
  buttons.  Though their readability may suffer, that's 
  how it goes.

  Trying to satisfy you guys while balancing my own
  satisfaction with the finished product has been tough,
  and the release of this edition of the skin has thus
  been some time in coming.  Thanks for being patient
  (if you were anticipating this at all).

  For those who would like the ORIGINAL version, please 
  e-mail me.

  -GRATUITY-

  Thanks are in order for DoorinD and his skin
  "Illusion."  It taught me a little trick which solved
  an otherwise irreconcileable problem I was having 
  with the way things all fit together on this one.

  Thanks should also go out to $teven.  When he posted
  his skin "Fessate," he left his Photoshop master in
  the archive, and study of it taught me some other new
  things.  He's a master skinner, and has earner my
  respect countless times.

  Thanks also to everyone who downloaded and gave
  feedback on my first skin, "Steel This Amp."  You all
  encouraged me to keep on skinning.  Time will tell if
  that was a good move on your part.

  Thanks to all who've tried this skin and seen fit to
  take the time to let me know you like something about
  it.  Personally I'm quite pleased with it and I'm glad
  so many of you are, too.

  Special thanks to everyone at Skinz.org who downloaded
  early versions of this skin and gave me reassurance and
  support.  Your comments meant a great deal, and I'd be
  a moron not to acknowledge it.

  On a related note, I'd also like to thank the folks at
  Skinz for their patience as this skin evolved.
