But I don't think there's any discussion about the basic thing. Just read your messages, and you'll immediately see that everyone types their own new message first. Nobody starts a post by reproducing the message to which they're replying. You may enjoy that ordering better, and so please, just go ahead and do what you like to do. But it's your trip, here, not a common alternative, please realize. I'm not talking about the wider world of mailing list etiquette, where these things do vary, somewhat, although actually I'm on a bunch of lists and no one ordinarily puts the quoted message first. But whatever, as/like theysay. As for the Quinn, JB and PBB, no, that may explain who your personal Quinn is, and what PBB stands for, although I have no idea what that is unless it's about guide dogs for the incarcerated blind-- is it?-- and it doesn't explain anything at all about Jeb, unless you're friends with the former governor of Florida. Anyway, carry on. I am glad to hear there have been so many covers of Quinn the Eskimo, but all I wanted to do was check my memory that it was a Dylan song originally, and so it is. If you still listen to Dylan at this stage of your life and his career, may I recommend Modern Times. Lots of good stuff on there. Jeb? Incarcerated guide dogs? ----- Original Message ----- From: "RandyZ.

You don't say whether it's connected to a serious audio system, or if you just use the computer like a sort of boom box? This is stuff I'm ** I have a reasonable speaker system but I've taken to using Wireless headsets and a Blue Tooth keyboard such that I can listen/work throughout my home as I do various tasks. I find this particularly useful for listening to tutorials as well as enjoying my music. Anyway, I hope you post whatever you discover about whether or not to upgrade, so I'll know more about all this. ** I try to share as appropriate but there is no substitute for folks making their own research so the learning and decisions best match their individual situations. ** As for the choice to include your portion of the reply above, I snipped it to be efficient but wished to ensure the list had a reference for the reply since the topic has various questions. There's many forms of quoted reply and many varied opinions. I hope I snipped enough to trouble you less and still retain the clarity I prefer. **** the remainder of this reply pertains to off topic aspects *** heard, but don't I remember that it's a Dylan tune, actually? Maybe it's on one of the basement tape collections? Always liked that song. What's this Jeb and PB thing? ** Dylan did originate the tune on the basement tapes and roughly 50 other folks did versions including the Manford Mann hit you recall. Quinn is my Guide from Guiding Eyes for the Blind and he was raised in the Puppies Behind Bars Program which explains both GEB and PBB. Fame? Well I sure can wish that he's gonna live forever... ;-) Randy & the Mighty Quinn of GEB and PBB fame Also, is it at all possible for you to fix your email program so that your own new message can appear first, above the one to which you're responding? It's a bit of a hassle having to arrow down through my own quoted message and headers and stuff to finally find what it is you've written. Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "RandyZ.

What about you? How come you wouldn't just switch to WMP 11 in order to learn more skills using this guide? Because you've heard it's awful, or because you have some kinds of settings that involved a lot of time and labor to make, and they won't transfer to the upgrade? Or..? Good questions and I'm certainly very interested on the topic. I upgraded several months previously and found the new version scrambled my Library and was generally harder for me to use. I didn't invest a lot of time because the upgrade was actually an inadvertent upgrade which after a limitted amount of exploration was one I rolled back. There are several things I'd like to add to my abilities with WMP 10 but having not seen anything sufficiently enticing about WMP 11 I stayed with the comfort and function I had with WMP 10. Now I've toured the guide in a very limitted fashion and while I find it has promise I want to study it a bit further before I decide whether or not I might upgrade again. Presently what I most want is enhanced library manipulation skills for my reasonably large collection of CDs now entirely stored on the computer.
