its dead annoying being on this side of the Atlantic coz I can only use the computer during the day when your all in bed in the U.S and that means that only 2 or 3 people bother writing at this time. Then when you're all up and about I'm back at my flat without a computer and I miss all the decent arguments. Do you see my problem? Well seeings as its unlikely anyone is reading this, I'll ask a question somewhat out of the spirit of the idm philosophy. Do any of you yanks (as I believe you're called) study American History? particularly the origins of the Constitution? Yes I know this is boring, but if anyone could write (to) me with any opinions or whatever about it I'd be dead grateful (I'm a bit behind you see!!) Anyway, now move your mouse to the delete option - and you'll forget I ever wrote this rather odd letter, U.K Chris You're from Texas...........................that's beautiful!

Well, while you are sending this message, I'm sleeping, but the mail just doesn't disappear when morning comes. Don't worry, we're getting your messages. So you're annoyed, huh? It's even more annoying that we "yanks" have a hell of a time finding good stuff like Reload, Underworld, Sandoz, Biosphere, u-ZIQ, etc. If for some unworldly quirk that we do see one of these in a store, it usually costs around $25 (17 pounds?). That may seem cheap to you but not to us considering most domestic releases are about $14.

Well, I dont qualify as a Yank since im from the Liverpool area, but I live in the US and have all of the above. No problem. As for prices, Reload was the most expensive at $19, U-Ziq was around $16, and I also picked up Autechre for $13. look harder.. _______ (__,-, \ / /\ \ f l u i d /,_) \ \ (/ \\ brit@chopin.udel.edu \) flu'id (floo'-)

average so you have to steal ours!!(only joking please don't write about that) However we have to pay #1.80 for a Big Mac(TM) which I believe is about $3 - I bet its cheaper for you! And you've nicked the bloody World Cup! (a soccer(!?) tournament that 80% of Americans don't know is happening this year in the U.S, and yet the final is the most watched sporting event in the world.) Oh yes I do realise that we've not qualified, but that's besides the point (sour grapes perhaps!) If you ever need a record I'm sure that theres loads of Brits on idm who'd be happy to buy it and send it to you if you sent the money (and postage) from, U.K Chris
