Stevie was in middle (there was 3 seat at front, and at his left and right sat instructors and helpers who prevented mass murder ) and said that it was incredible experience.. i never was into Ray Charles, but at least he is not responsible for guys like Jamiroquai btw, since we talked about bad taste or whatever in adds, did you see how Detroit fans regard Shaq O' Neil - Shaq, you score in free throws are same like Stevie Wonder!! tasteless.. > Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2004 13:36:50 EDT > From: MarkBursa@aol.com > Subject: Re: [idealcopy] Another great one gone > On a more surreal note, anyone remember the Peugeot car ads of a few years > ago which featured Ray, improbably, driving a car across the desert. > > Must've had some good gear down the ad agency that afternoon. > > Mark > > ******************************* ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Jun 2004 11:28:28 +0100 From: "j.hobson" Subject: Re: [idealcopy] Another great one gone I'm ancient enough to remember Ray Charles from the early 60s and even then he felt 'old'. I was surprised to find how young he actually was but of course with the British Beat Boom and the great days of Tamla Mowtown he sounded from another era. There again we've put up with Cliff Richard for decades...and he didn't do a decent record after Move it. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Jun 2004 03:59:34 -0700 (PDT) From: Ari Subject: [idealcopy] O.T:powerline internet connection http://equipped.msn.com/article.aspx?aid=4 Friends.

More than once have I heard the UK known as "Treasure Island" for this very reason, ie you can get away with inflated prices here. The upside to this is, that certain doomed technologies don't have time to get sold to the unsuspecting Brits, before they die out. EG :- I don't think *that* many of the Philips V2000 systems were ever sold here, arguably , you could say that due to late arrival, coupled with relative scarecity of the (domestic) machinery, DAT was DOA, and the ADAT/RDAT machines (at least one of which used standard VHS cassettes as the recording media), that were being hyped as an alternative to domestic DAT for high-quality digital recording for the masses, and also aimed at the studio market for digital mastering, were virtually stillborn, as they were overtaken by development: the principal bugbear of both R- and A-DAT were that obviously they weren't 'random access' as we all understand it. I'm sure if I sat here awhile, I could think of other new formats etc that we were saved from here by this very 'lag'..........so it isn't *all* bad...;-) Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo!

However, former list member Graeme could not speak too highly of them. They've been around a while - I think you can trust them.
