Thanks J, But I am on a line modem that the phone company has throttled down to 4Kbps in an attempt to force me to pay $9.99 a month for their 1.5meg service. Which isn't even as fast as that advertised speed. I'm simply not going to let them blackmail me into faster service with them. In light of that I can't watch vids. But thanks anyway. :)

I thought you might like Bert's playing. He is a prime example of a musician that refused to let record execs. force him into being someone he isn't. He had a major record deal 5 records I believe. He told them to kiss his arse. He is somewhat of a celebrity round these parts. My father in law grew up with him in Seabrook Texas. Sorry you are being hijacked by the cable company but they do the same here. I remember when cable service was first offered here in the 70's their selling point was no more commercials. Now there are more commercials than viewing content!
