Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?

I say "Threshold, Threshold, Threshold, I am a name not a number!"
On the Threshold of a Dream perhaps?
When it's launched, I'll write in my Dear Diary on that Lazy Day "Lovely To See You Windows 9, but you need Send Me No Wine, To Share Our Love". In The Beginning, Microsoft missed their deadlines repeatedly, until we'd say "Never Comes The Day when the next version will be out". Are You Sitting Comfortably because September 30th will soon be here but, Have You Heard that it might not happen then? I hope that you can find it So Deep Within You to forgive all the speculation. The Voyage will soon be at an end and The Dream version of Windows will be upon us.

One of my favorite songs by them. I saw them in concert in 71 and they where excellent.

They were here a couple of years back and my wife went to see them. Hayward and Lodge's voices were as good as ever. A trip back to better, simpler times < sigh />

It was a simpler time but don't know if I could live through it again.

... of course, this has me in a reverie. I met a wonderful woman the week before her 18th birthday and gave her that album.
Somewhat short-sited of me, as that meant we ended up with two copies. Saturday week that meeting will have been exactly 39 years ago and we've been married for over 36 of them.

Congrats, in this day and age that is a rarity. With vinyl it's not a bad thing to have 2 copies, I've wore out so many that if I had the money I've spent on LP's I'd be well off.

Thanks Mike. I've started a process of ripping mine to WAV, cleaning up with CoolEdit Pro and saving to lossless WMA.
I read a really cool tip on-line that I've yet to try. You put a couple of pieces of low tack adhesive tape on the edge of the album; coat the whole thing with a thin coat PVA wood glue, making sure that the entire surface is covered; leave to totally cure then peel off using the tape. The poster swears that it removes so much noise that the album sounds almost new. Of course, it won't repair scratches, but it seem that most of the noise is from fine embedded dirt!

hmm sounds like it might be worth a try but I just always used the trusty LP Cleaning Kit[^] and of course took good care of my LPs. The main thing I found was to always use a good needle and good turn table. Used to have a good sound system, but the one I have now haven't turned it on in over a year, everything I've got is on my PC.

I always used some variant of these cleaners. The most common one in the UK had a sponge pad covered in velvet. I've seen it claimed that these are great for "lighter" particles, but they'd spread the heavier and finer stuff around causing micro-scratches and then packing the crap in.
I retire next April and one project is to retrieve as much stuff from my vinyls (and cassettes) as I can. In some cases, the only replacements I could find have been on YouTube and the quality isn't great.

If I can be of any help let me know, like if something you have is not good quality, etc.. I've got just under 2K CDs most in good condition and covers a broad range.

Thanks Mike. Look me up on fb if you like. I don't have my fb ID here (or password), but my name isn't one of the most common!

Ok Phil I think I found you on FB and I sent you a message. They're are a few on there with that name but since the new privacy stuff you can't get info about anyone until you connect with them.

Don't you have some work to do or is this all you do all day?

I would agree with you but then we both would be wrong.

No your father runs 3 companies. You just goof off all day and get paid for it.

Well got a spam message that I normally just mark and delete (marking lets our system know about it). Today I read part of a spam telling me I need to sign up for Medicare (government sponsored health care in USA). However the address:173-3149 Sed St., Ferlach, Austria,4249 was a little fishy. I did not know the US government outsourced to Austria.
Then at the bottom of the spam  :
I remember 22853112 first seeing paseo on tv and thinking I got to try this place when I was like 10 years old lol. After all those years, 22853112 I finally had the chance to visit the place and damn they don't play about the lines!! It really does go a46c26f1026dee4bb5c4b82e5601cb52 around a block, rain or shine. But once 22853112 I became a regular I found out ways to beat the system and that is simply ordering togo.a46c26f1026dee4bb5c4b82e5601cb52
