You can also just run the audio and video outputs of your computer into your stereo/video system and get basically the same thing, correct? Of course it depends on your computer setup I guess. Personally I have my computer hooked into my stereo system and it is great! Of course, the major downside is I can't switch tracks with a remote control. Maybe in a couple years they will have brain implants that let you communicate psychically with your computer? >There's a company called Apex makes a DVD player which, in addition to >playing DVD movies, will also play MP3 cds.

Stan's not dead, but he's pretty much been out to pasture for many, many years (unless you count Marvel's "film" division as actual work). And he did, of course, appear as himself in Mallrats. So, how did Mr. Vess react to Disney's, uh....homage, to him in Fantasia 2000? - - Steve _______________ We're all Jesus, Buddha, and the Wizard of Oz! - Andy Partridge ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 09:14:09 +0000 From: "Stewart C.

Even if he had to send himself back to 1840 to do it? Would he then have been the popular fantastickal illustrator, Mr Stanley Lee?

James (exhausted but happy after a gig - at which I hasten to add I was simply the support act - with a happy and receptive audience of around 1000 people. Probably my biggest audience ever, and quite a buzz). Now flying - are you crazy? It's 1am! But yesterday it was the new Hong Kong flag - red, with a stylised white bauhinia orchid, with a red star on each of its white petals.

And since Pitch-A-Tent was recently discussed, I pulled my Donner Party album out of the closet. I really hate it when albums have one good song (Boxfull of Bones) and the rest uninspired filler (in this case, a combination of bad "joke" country and semi-psych stuff that probably resembles Jeff Magnum's seventh-grade journal). I don't know to throw it back in my closet or keep it... np.
