All new and updated pages will now be listed here. With over 200 pages on this site, there are always some being updated. Some of the new features are temporary in nature and may only be listed here and not on the 'regular' menus. The best way to be notified automatically whenever anything new happens at Omega is to fill the form at bottom of page... It's automatic and... it's free!

One big change has been implemented: One menu will let you cruise through the entire site AND select any musical number among the hundreds available. Older menus scattered all over the site will be removed, thus allowing faster loads. Please let me know if you like this new setup. The menus will be updated as new features are added/upgraded etc. It is recommended (a) that you bookmark this new menu page and, (b) that you open it in a separate page so it is always available.

A new feature has been implemented on June 1st, 1998. What to do with an eight year old grandson visiting for three months? Easy... you make him keep a logbook of all his activities. If you do visit his pages, as I hope you will, please sign his guestbook. It will make his day! You can see his page right here!

Much has been happening this last month. Following Frank Sinatra's death on May 14th, our Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra feature received over 60,000 visitors within the first six days! All entries in the Book of remembrance will be forwarded to the family.
There has been a complete reorganization of the Omega site. Because of the growing size of the various features, a new mirror site has been obtained and the most popular features have been transferred to it. The site is at Tripod and the account has been opened so that there are NO annoying commercial banners shown when you visit. The following features are now located at Tripod: The Wilhelm Gustloff Tragedy; the Concerts in the Park and the Christmas at Omega Concert The various menus scattered throughout the site are now being updated to reflect the new changes. Please give those features a try at their new home and amend your bookmarks to the new address. Thank you.

Just one small addition to Omega but an important one! Start the day with the latest news . See the banner immediately following the opening logo. Under the 'Local' headline headings, I will include the latest pages added or updated at Omega. Try it... it's easy and... enjoy!

I recently experienced a major computer crash which explains all the snafu you may have recently experienced while visiting Omega. I now have a new computer but, unfortunately, I have lost all my e-mail files. If you wrote me since 1 March... please send me a short note so I can have your e-mail address.
Most of the musical pages have been reloaded, including the new Master Musical Menu. The Tribute to Frank Sinatra has been moved to another server (see main page). Due to space consideration, the archived versions of the Concerts will be removed from the server on April 25th 1998. If you should want a copy, please e-mail me and I will make special arrangements. Thank you for your understanding and I hope you will continue to visit Omega.

Please read this for details on a major breakthrough at Omega.
A funny thing happened on the way to the Forum. While checking my server's statistics I was most surprised to find that visitors had attempted to log in the inoperative Christmas Concert! An average of 75 did so, on a daily basis. VOX POPULI !
In view of the obvious demand, I have uploaded the Christmas Concert! What visitors to Omega want, visitors to Omega get. Enjoy the Christmas Concert 98/99'

New 1 March 98
It's been a busy two weeks since the last update. The big news of course is that I have begun translating the major pages to five additional languages: German, French, Portuguese, Italian and Spanish! I had received several requests from visitors to do so and here's the result. Granted, some of the translation results can at times be hilarious but, most agree its better than reading the info in a language which is totally alien to them. I hope you like it. More and more pages will be added on a weekly basis.
The other big news: I have implemented a new search facility from the main opening page. Looking for 'anything' within the Omega site? Give it a try. It works and it's fast. See the main opening page for details.

If only to prove you can't be right 'all' the time, I received a letter where the author pointed out several inaccuracies regarding my thoughts on Morgan Robertson's novel "Wreck of the Titan". He was right and I am pleased to set the record straight. See his letter HERE. Every Titanic 'fan' should read his letter!
