Mar 2007,

To commemorate the relocation of Moocat headquarters from Taiwan to the United States (of Texas), this Moocat will be a special DIGIFILM issue, featuring five digital videos.

The issue omits new essays, poetry, and art to make room for the massive bandwidth that the downloading of these videos will require. (This decision has nothing to do with the fact that no submissions of poetry, essays, or art have come in during the last few months.)
