Just a little tip..........
Hey guys.....just for those who don't know it already, for those long
links that invariably cause trouble with wraps, etc., you ought to go
to:

http://tinyurl.com/

As an example, lets look at the link:

http://www.audiogalaxy.com/satellite/index.php?SID=89eb207ee536f0f730e
f195239bf6421

Using TinyURL, it becomes:

http://tinyurl.com/5ccty

The only problem with this is there is no way to recognize what the 
link is later.  To solve this, you can give the link a name - any name 
you want.  To accomplish this, place a space, question mark, and 
another space between the URL and the description.  As an example, a
URL would look like --  URL ? NAME-of-URL.  Using the TinyURL from 
this post, it would look like this:

http://tinyurl.com/5ccty ?  Audiogalaxy's peer-to-peer network

The three great essentials to achieving anything worthwhile are; 
first, hard work, second, stick-to-it-iveness, and third, common 
sense.
