"Rumour" is the English way to spell it that we kids in Scandinavia and Europe (and in England BTW ;) are taught; "rumor" is how you Americans do it; the same thing with "colour" - "color", "favourite" - "favorite", "organise" - "organize", "license" - "licence". I've never understood the difference anyway... ;) (ObIDM) Some recent purchases: 69 - Sound On Sound (R&S) Stasis - the new album (Peacefrog) V/A - Equianimity (GPR) All essential, IMHO - reviews coming if required by the majority ;) ERkki Tampere, pHinland trerra@uta.fi
