When I was in the Navy, one of my shipmates once said, "I _hate_ Yokosuka. There's not a $%&*%^&% thing to do there." I asked, "Are you telling me there is _nothing_ to do in a suburb of the biggest city in the world?" :-) -- Wes Groleau Daily Hoax: http://www.snopes2.com/cgi-bin/random/random.asp

I had CW, then AW, then used MS Office stuff, now happily rid of all three, and simply use iWorks. So, you can think of no lost functions in iTunes? -- john mcwilliams

No, I couldn't reach my account, whichever route I tried, because they'd made my version of iTunes obsolete. -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist http://www.mosaictelecom.com/~erilarlo

Now I'm jealous 8-) I know some people who play vielle, but don't have much music played on it. I also know several who play recorders of various sizes together as a consort and wish I lived near such people. At least with a harp I get to sing and play at the same time. -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist http://www.mosaictelecom.com/~erilarlo |
