I'm sure that quote probably ended up annoying George C. as much as it probably annoyed everybody in the 313 for its all-too-frequent repetition. Unfortunately, with all that has been said about techno, it was this comment that always made the final print. and usually without the "with only a sequncer to keep them company" proviso. sheesh, the comment's more than ten years old. let it die. let it die. -marc ---------------------------------- NRR. have folks seen the HL server at det.servemp3.com? -- _____________ In the U.S. you have to be a deviant or exist in dreary boredom.
