:-) Back in the good ol' days (you know, the late '80s) I had
to bounce my emails off of BITNET to get them to some of my friends
using the bang path method (friend!uucp!stanford!edu). There was no such
thing as this silly "World Wide Web" (who thought a tongue-twisting
acronym using three W's was a good idea anyway??). I belonged to THE
music discussion email list, AllMusic, and I was constantly running
over my massive 5 MB disk quota (most people only got 1MB) on the
mainframe. Ahhhhh... the good ol' days. Heheheh.
Times are changing, though email lists still rule. I wonder
how we'll survive the changes coming in the next 50 years... :-)
With cool stuff like PDA/MP3/Phones and the next DT album (err... I
mean CD) around the corner, I'm looking forward to it.
Can you imagine the stories we'll be able to tell our
grandchildren about the cool times we had back when email and the
WWW were first making communication about progressive rock possible?
I can see it now...
"Yes sonny, my first computer, the legendary Apple IIe, had 128 Kilobytes
of RAM with the special memory expansion board."
"Don't you mean Gigabytes, Grandpa?"
"No, 'K', Kilobytes."
"Sure Grandpa... you mean Meg?"
"No! 'K' damnit!"

Oops, just noticed that I typed that URL wrongly. It should have been:

Did John Arch ever do anything aside from the first 3 Fates Warning albums (and audition for James LaBrie's position)? I'm listening to "Awaken The Guardian" again at present, and I can't help but think that, while Arch probably wouldn't fit into what FW is up to these days, he should be in *some* band. The dude's too good to have simply packed it in after getting kicked out of Fates.

Never mind "Frodo lives!", -this- revelation was far more surprising. :) :)
