Youll find everyone here very friendly & someone somewhere always seems to be able to help with the strangest requests, so if your stuck with only cd player - someone will probably have the track transfered onto cd already . May the Cube be with you.

The weird thing about being Canadian is that living in a country with such a small population everyone is either a "small c" celebrity or knows one. As a result I completely overlooked friends and aquaintances when playing all those "degrees of seperation" games because you don't really think of them as being "famous", they're just Bob or Joe, or Gordie who you see at the Tim Horton's every now and then and share a coffee with. I just found myself a closer link to Thomas than my previous one. 1) Me to Jonathan Crombie (I played keyboards for "Skippy's Rangers" back in the early 90s) 2) Jonathan Crombie was in "Cafe Romeo" with Micheal Ironside 3) Micheal Ironside was in "Fatherhood" with Rick Zimwalt. 4) Rick Zimwalt was in Rockula with Thomas Dolby. That's one degree closer than my previous link of me>wife>Louis Del Grande>David Cronenberg>Debbie Harry>Thomas Dolby Crackers (Whittling that chain from hell!!!!!)
