I think there are a couple of things available on DVD in Europe & I'm sure that eventually a few things will turn up in North America. - I'm almost certain "La Jetee" is included on the DVD of "12 Monkeys."

Easy CD Creator is fine for the burning, but for recording or editing you'll need something like Goldwave or Cool Edit Pro. Cracks of these programs are very easy to find at Kazaa or other p2p-sites (or you can purchase the official versions of course!) Marco www.weirdomusic.com

Analogue to digital CD burners
by David Evans 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

I know this is a topic that's been discussed before so apologies for covering old ground. I'm using Windows XP and I'm looking to get some software that allows me to record old LPs and cassettes onto my hard drive, edit them and burn them to CD. I know Adaptec have Easy CD Creator 6, which seems to get very mixed reviews, and has a lot of other features that I don't need. I was wondering if anyone knew of or could recommend anything else that does the same job. Thanks all Dave _________________________________________________________________ Stay in touch with absent friends - get MSN Messenger http://www.msn.co.uk/messenger

In the last 4 years I've been reading only I.B. Singer and Chaim Potok. I can't read anything else. For those reading Potok: can I suggest "The book of lights" and "Davita's Harp" I have no words for these two cheers Patrick -- --------- Original Message --------- DATE: Tue, 29 Jul 2003 13:49:18 From: Samerivertwice(a)aol.com To: bvergara(a)sfsu.edu, zorn-list(a)mailman.xmission.com Cc: I've read two Bill Bryson books in the last three weeks -- "A Brief History of Nearly Everything" and "I'm a Stranger Here Myself." Both were excellent with the former was far more educational and the latter being a bit more entertaining. Right now I'm reading Augusten Burroughs's "Running With Scissors." Critics say it's the best memoir since David Eggers's "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius." I'm not so sure about that but so far it's been pretty funny. Before Bryson I read Chaim Potok's "The Chosen" for the first time and enjoyed it so much that I bought "My Name is Asher Lev." That's on deck.

David Keenan's "England's Hidden Reverse" (on Current 93, Coil and Nurse With Wound, among others) just arrived the other day and it's on my bedside table next to a pile of issues of Mike Carey's comic "Lucifer" (probably the best of the "Sandman" spinoffs, if not sometimes as good). (I see Keenan also has a book on My Bloody Valentine's "Loveless" -- http://www.continuumbooks.com/series_details.cgi?sid=311&ssid=FCU862K3I86CU8 8HE7R01H -- anyone read anything from this series yet?) Anyone else have any recommendations? I'd rather read something else than catch up on the last two Harry Potter books...

"Bright Lights, Big City" was the first book I ever read narrated entirely in 2nd person. You read the book, you think the idea is interesting but after awhile you get annoyed and wish the author would stop trying to put you in the narrator's shoes. You know?
