I was browsing through the latest Q, having finally cancelled my subscription, and saw that there was a list of 1010 (or some equally ridiculous number) tracks that you must own (yeah right!) Anyway, some guy out of Blink 182 (or some equally ridiculous number) had picked his fave punk tracks, and there at the bottom was 12XU. Well done Mr Blink I thought, till I read the small piece, where Blinky said one of the sound guys had picked it. Think he did at least concede he liked it though!

Apparently every Eno/Pink Floyd/Mike Oldfield sound finds its origins here. A 4-CD set with 7 extensive booklets + many extras. Works by Tom Dissevelt, Kid Baltan, Henk Badings and Dick Raaijmakers (who was asked to make Stanley Kubrick's 2001 soundtrack, but said no) Bart http://www.bastamusic.com/scripts/catalogus.cgi?cat_no=71828443 (+MP3s) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 03 Aug 2004 15:30:31 +0200 From: Bart van Damme Subject: Re: [idealcopy] O.T: Mozilla > Nope - I just checked on my Windows desktop, and it's wrong there too > with Mozilla 1.7.1.

I'm not very good at getting rid of things, so I'm already regretting this! Basically what happened was a few years ago when I lived in a different house it was in a room that was prone to condensation, and it got damp and sounded totally muffled.

I'd given it to my mum when I got the dual, but she hadn't used it for years (since I gave here an old CD player in fact!). Now reclaimed, the Pioneer will celebrate it's 25th birthday later this year where it started!

Well, Mozilla is a web browser/mail/news/chat program, so it doesn't compete with Outlook's calendar function directly. But, the Mail program is great - it has a spam filter - and Mozilla is a much better browser than IE, in my opinion. (I may be biased, though. (^_^)) It has tabbed browsing and built-in pop-up blockers. Plus - it's free. http://mozilla.org will get you started. In fact, I'm sending this from Mozilla 1.6 on Fedora Core 2 Linux on a Dell laptop in San Francisco right now! (I'm attending LinuxWorld). >> I primarily use Mozilla on all of my computers.

Yeah - from the 5 or so people who run web browsers on their PlayStation 2s. Not too many people have the Linux kit.
