So what I am saying is..either Crackers needs to change the link to have %20 in place of spaces (like this Crackers%20-%20Hyperactive%20(Thomas%20Dolby%20Tribute).mp3) or rename the file not to contain space characters or people could just go to http://ghastly.keenspace.com/images/mp3/Crackers%20-%20Hyperactive%20(Thomas%20Dolby%20Tribute).mp3 have fun all..... also the song was a trip!

Sorry for the delay - I got a new game this week. ;) I believe The Mystery Channel has exclusive rights to the remastered version at least until 2003. However, Columbia House has put out a collection of nearly all the episodes on VHS, if you're interested in acquiring them that way.

I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Howard The Duck:The Movie, particularly Thomas's cameo. Definitely one of my favourite parts of the movie. That's why I don't watch the movie on TNT anymore, because they cut out his entire cameo the last time I watched it on that channel. Seeing him in the black-and-beret look, I always suspected that was where the "Beatnik" moniker came from.

Guess I'm now a victim of the terrorist attacks. My company on Friday laid me off and seven other people with no notice.

Now I'm stuck with trying to find something new in the IT industry before my money runs out and it isn't a good time to do it. I'm trying to stay calm, but I've never been in this situation before. I guess I've been lucky because ever since my first job out of college 10 years ago I've had continuous work, but I'm just not prepared for this still.

I hope you get snapped up by another company soon - - having been in that situation a couple of times in past years (as in one contract finishes without immediate prospect of another) I have an idea what you might be going through. > So, any good vibes and wishes you'd like to send my way would be well > appreciated. Good vibes duly inbound. Hang in there Keith, hope things improve soon! Paul.
