I missed the first 15 minutes or so, but yeah, the episode was brilliant (though I might still rate it a touch behind ST:TNG's "The Inner Light" or Babylon 5's "Sleeping in Light"). The series was clumping along a bit this season (though I've missed a few episodes) but they've still got it.

The problem is that CD-Rs (Orange Book Part II) are When I bought my current computer (just under a year and a half ago) Gateway had just started including DVD-ROM drives as standard equipment, and I have yet to run across a CD-R (or CD-RW) that it won't play perfectly well (even when recorded on some of the lesser brands of media).

Since I hadn't heard anything, I finally wrote to find out what was up. According to Mila's manager, Rita Harris, >Unfortunately, the new album, "Hip to Hip: A >Collection of Standards," won't be out until February 9th. We tried, but the >legal paperwork has held it up.

Also, the website should be up and running. >We redid it over the last week. This may have been why you had difficulty >getting to it. When I did get to the website, I found these interesting tidbits: >Each day is Valentine's Day 12.08.99 > >February 9th is the release date for Mila's Hip to Hip: A >Collection of Standards, including Until I Met You, Satin >Doll, Moonglow, Someone to Watch Over Me, Something Stupid, >My Funny Valentine, How Sweet It Is to Be In Love, How Deep >Is the Ocean, You Go to My Head, Cheek to Cheek, Baby It's >Cold Outside and Moon River.

We know, it's all just too good to be true.
