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?!?)
