I'm using Extended Color BASIC 1.1...

 I boot my computer from cassette.

Hehe, harddisk 1 = Win XP, 32 Bit, harddisk 2 = MS-DOS 6.22, 16 Bit. The old dual-core PC still has a FDC, so I can boot from 3,5" or 5,25" diskette (both floppy types are installed)...

I used to have his speech as King Osric memorized.  "There comes a time, for a thief.  When the gold looses it's luster.  When the jewels cease to sparkle.  When the throne room becomes a prison... and all that is left is a father's love for his daughter."  RIP.

I'm just waiting for the bassline to kick in.

Running in the shadows, damn your love damn your lies

And if you don't love me now, you will never love me again; I can still hear you sayin' you will never break the chain.

Sad to hear. I have a GH CD of theirs I listen to once in a while.

Spirit of Eden and Colour of Spring mean an awful lot to me.

Btw: your head might not (probably not) really be "dead". Check the leads under the head... I'd be willing to bet one of them broke off and just needs to be soldered back on...

record did not work anymore for more than a year, only playback did; but since yesterday even playback gives only silence, no matter what tape I insert - all other functions (rewind, fforward, etc.) seem still to be working. Does this have to do with the leads under the head ?!?

Yes. Check the leads. The other thing I would do is take contact cleaner to all switches inside and out. Heads rarely ever die. The leads (chinsey thin ass wires) going to the heads are sooooo delicate and fragile. Years of a solenoid or manual up/down can break them easily.

Beautiful lady, killer voice. Saw her in concert both solo and with Fleetwood Mac (yes - Christine McVie was with them too!)

Just like the white winged dove...

"Una paloma blanca..." Oh, wait, wrong guy.

There goes the stock market. Really can't say more since we can't talk politics.

That's not how it works. We can't discuss US politics. We're not as hyper sensitive about issues as out American friends.

*our* What it is about the word out at the minute?
