Heck, since my CD changer once didn't like to return a CD from its intestines I've switched back to my CD-Rom, the only tray-loading player in my room (if you don't count my discman, which you of course don't :)... and since my 'puter is connected to the stereo (heck, if I'm doing my own music with it, I can as well hook it up to the stereo, can't I?), I don't have problems with that... Also, since my card has got TV in, I'm mainly watching the little TV I watch occasionally on my 17" mon, I have no problem with that... heck, a friend of mine even told me that a specific brand of TV cards are currently selling like hell as there's some PC software that lets you decode "Premiere", a encoded pay-TV programme... without paying fees, of course... :) On a different topic, I wanted to invite a few people (from record labels/radio stations et al.) to check out my noodlings (as soon as I think I've got enough ready), but it seems I'll have to do the CDR mail thing --- thanks guys, the postage is gonna kill me, and I haven't got a burner... :( (Would you rather like a WAV?!?) --KurtB.PruennerHaendelstrasse17A-4020Linz/AUSTRIAInCaseOfFire:mailto:kurt.pru xxxxx@xx.xxx-xxxx.xx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:http://www.her mes-gfx.gup.uni-linz.ac.at/http://www.warp-net.com/http://www.buzz2.com/http:/ /www.aphextwin.org/http://www.dirty.org/http://www.userfriendly.org/http://www .segfault.org/np:NightmaresOnWax-PipesHonor(SmokersDelight)
