Charlie, I really don't feel old or fogeyish - but did think I would address the subject (and bring some of us out of the woodwork in the process!) - I guess that's somewhat proof of Tori's universal appeal? - -Richard. @ \@/ Richard A.

I'll go along with that...I've bought several techno CD's and the Little Earthquakes video...all have come within a couple easy days of me ordering them...they keep the emails to a minimum, and have sent the occasional discount my way. - -- - -Bob Moyer U of MD, College Park rahvin@wam.umd.edu http://bobmoyer.home.ml.org ==================================================== "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...
