After a certain point, I kind of became dismayed with the musical beaver shots, as they didn't seem to be providing much in the way of surprise. I mean, a lot of people seem to live on IDM alone, so I felt like a total gimp because I didn't seem to have much of any on my desk at the time. Thank God I didn't get into the piles anywhere else in my room or we would've been waiting round all day. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
