Well, thanks for putting up the track...but I think Aphex should have just kept that one secret :)

hah.. it's easy enough to find it without one ;) but then again if gonzi wanted you not to be able to find it by moving the mouse around he could have by making a ONMOUSEOVER tag with a couple of spaces :) __ __\ \ / /_\ \ \_____/ , m7=

Seems a little long winded when all you have to do is go to: www1.linkonline.net/fresh/ and it lists everything in his directory because he doesn't have an index.html :) -- Ben Coffer Hybrid Productions http://www.hybridgame.demon.co.uk/

I'm not sure if this is arrogance or naivete. It might be naivete. e-mail hasn't been pure text for a long time, Gonzi. Ever hear of MIME? You're soaking in it. Or, it might be arrogance. "Even though I'm the ONLY person on IDM posting HTML messages and expecting people to read their mail via a Web browser (even though the Web browser has a sucky mail reading interface and should stick to what it knows best, namely Web browsing) or fire up a Web browser to read a two-line e-mail message (because their normal mail readers say that's what you can fire up to read this "text/html" type), that's OK!!! Because I am The Great Gonzorama, and I have seen the future, and will lead the way!!!" This reminds me of a story. Back a while ago, the Sun "mailtool" GUI program that comes with OpenWindows gained the ability to send things as attachments (this was pre-MIME), among them being sound file attachments. So a friend at Sun sent me a mail with an audio attachment. The mail message was 36 Kb, with attachment (uuencoded). Since I didn't use "mailtool", I had to unbundle the attachment from the body, copy it to /tmp, uudecode it into the underlying .au file, and play the thing. It turned out to be a verbalized version of a single sentence, and when I typed it in, it turned out to be something like 130 letters long. So I got a 36 Kb email instead of a single-sentence 130-character e-mail of plain text. Sheesh. Now, here we are years later, and Gonzi's telling me I have to fire up Netscape - a process that can take up to a minute on my wheezing old SPARCstation 1 here, depending on system load - to read his 2-liner message. Plain text works for 99 44/100ths percent of us. Get a grip. ObIDM: I finally listened to the Boards of Canada 12" I bought a month and a half ago at Modern Music. (*sheepish grin*) So why doesn't this thing thrill me all that much, given the huzzahs on this list about it? - Greg

Yes this is exactly it....I hardly touch my web browser, mostly use email...and email should stay short and sweet and only take up the minimum amount of space that it needs to. (i.e. the actual number of characters in the message), not be swamped in tonnes of underlying rubbish. -- Ben Coffer Hybrid Productions http://www.hybridgame.demon.co.uk/

It worked well for me on the 28.8 modem :) The occasional 3-4 second gap while it waited to buffer more data and then it carried on... -- Ben Coffer Hybrid Productions http://www.hybridgame.demon.co.uk/
