    janis has everything to do with junis.
    i too have been silenced, my native
    commodore's tonguq has been transformed
    into lower case text by an unseen hand.
    junis and his brothers stand tall in
    the fight for all oppressed peoples and
    their struggles against oppression.

    also if you have any tips to be running
    neverwinter nights on commodore please
    email me supasexyafghan17@aol.com
