You guys certainly were diplomatic, but I think some reviewers really need to drop off the face of the (flat) earth...

So >far, awesome, but I'm waiting for my purchase email-reply. Paul, did you >say there are Flat Earth excerpts there? I can't find any. To be honest, I can't remember whether they're there or at the FES site ah here we go: The catch (?) is they're in MIDI form so you'll need a frames-compatible web browser and a MIDI-capable computer to hear them as you navigate the landscape (A Mac running QuickTime 2.5, QuickTime plug-in 1.1 and Netscape Navigator 3.01 works a treat.) If anyone's interested, I can ask Thomas if he's okay with me converting them to say audio-only QuickTime movies or sound (snd , aiff, .wav, whatever) files and put them on my site. cheers, Paul. __________________________________________________________________________ Paul Baily paulb@thehub.com.au Consulting SE/IT Mercenary http://www.thehub.com.au/~paulb Brisbane, Australia There is a spirit here that won't be broken ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V2 #13 **************************
