Hi, Roon!

This sounds great - one of the very first things I did with this Acorn was install some tracker software. I wish I had some musical talent to make my own tunes but I really don't :) I've always found MIDI technically interesting but never did anything with it due to lack of musicality...

 > and i have a p3 for playing win98 games :)

I must have thrown away two PII PCs at some time, I really can't remember doing it but they are not here any more. Quake II was my era and, although you can get QII working on modern PCs easily, we *only* played mods (OSP insta-gib & blast chambers) which need Win98 or similar to run. I guess I also threw away my Voodoo 2 card :(
