The issue of Computing Systems was very interesting, and the added CD was a terrific bonus. When I had it waiting for me as a package in my PO Box (since it didn't fit), I thought it was "interesting" that it was bigger than normal. I opened it up and this CD popped out! Wow! Since I was in my car, I popped it in my CD deck in the car and started to listen. I started to laugh, since I didn't know what it was all about (obviously not reading the issue yet). I started to hear tones, short excerpts, etc... I fast forwarded and heard Edie and Eddie and I knew what that was (since I had called the demo before!) Great job! And I look forward to seeing more of this in the future. It'll be a a collectors item, someday. Or maybe K-Tel will be making advertisements on late-night TV, "Not available in stores, 32 tracks from the hotest new electronic groups ...
