Welcome to the EMU-LMAO Archives.  These archives have been carefully restored for your viewing pleasures using the most advanced restoration techniques of the day, i.e. I copy file A to location B from location A.  Very technical, I know.  It is quite possible that you have never even seen classic EMU-LMAO before in your life, if you are newbie, please take the time to properly digest the context of the archive internally.   For you vets, have fun.

Note:  As this is strictly an archive, links will not always work.  This is an archive, it is not supposed to be some type of showcase of EMU-LMAO.  New classic material is always being added.

UPDATE -> August 08, 2009
