However, last I had heard (I think this was from Jason) the band seems to have some discomfort with tape trees. I personally don't see why, but they do, so there it is. I personally would love to see some trees, as my collection is not exactly huge either, however, if that doesn't happen, the original poster should know that he or she can pretty easily get tapes from many people on this NG simply in exchange for blanks and postage.

If not I think it is a > wonderful time to start...espicially since I still have ZERO fruvous tapes. There have been two tape trees that have happened through this ng. The first was of a 1995 Iron Horse show ("High-Powered Canadian Exports") and was organized by John Greene. The second was of the 1996 New Years Eve first set from the Bottom Line (with some second set filler) which was organized by Jason Reiser. In my opinion, now wouldn't be such a hot time for a tape tree since there is a new album coming out in 2 months. Also, I wouldn't feel right without getting permission from the band to do it. I'd want them to approve of the wide distribution of a particular show. But hey, that's just my opinions. Next time you see the band, talk to them about it if you want. - Chad ------------------------------ Date: 28 May 1999 15:29:29 GMT From: dmandeluxe@aol.com (Dmandeluxe) Subject: Re: What are you listening to?

The institute will employ 120 IBM researchers and have a nine-person advisory board. In addition, the institute will be supported by a $29 million budget. William Pulleyblank, the institute's director, says deep computing refers to the use of extensive computation and advanced software algorithms in approaching problems that traditionally would have been impossible. This level of research has been explored for several years at IBM's Watson Labs, and Pulleyblank says, "We think now is the time to really use this kind of scientific modeling for business decision-making." Weather forecasting is one possible application of deep computing capabilities. With deep computing, forecasts can be much more accurate. The Deep Computing Institute plans to offer open access to its three-dimensional visualization software for supercomputers, called Data Explorer. (New York Times 05/24/99) ******************************************************* hmmmmm...if it can predict weather, can earthquakes be far off??
