You've certainly my gratitude and appreciation.

The reason why Musica Viva is down now has nothing whatsoever to do with the real issue. Apparently the domain name has been blocked due to communication problems between VeriSign and their Norwegian agent, ActiveISP. That's what happened last year at least, and I know I paid that bill two months ago (I just checked just to be absolutely sure). At first I saw no reason to bother, but on second thought I realized this is a golden opportunity to vent off some of my built-up frustration. Some poor bloke down at ActiveISP is gonna get a hell of a start of the day tomorrow. ;-) Maybe I should sue them, btw? Does anybody know anything about the legal aspect of such a situation? Anyway, the site will be back again soon, It probably won't be for long, but at least it'll get a proper funeral. Musica Viva ain't gonna just softly and suddenly vanish away!

[abcusers] Musica Viva, latest news (Was: Goodbye)
I've received so many messages both on- and off list now, I beginning to conuse them. This reply was meant for the whole list, but somehow I ended up sending it to just one person: --- Seems things are really out of my hand right now. I just had a talk with sysop at my web host, and he simply refused to take the site down!!! So no matter what I do, it seems Musica Viva will stay online at least until it's time to re-register the domain name (and that's not until September 2003). The site is down right now because of that domain name trouble, but that shouldn't take long to fix. A few very important question here: Like any law-abiding citizen I pay my bills to my domain name registrar every year, right on time. Then, for the second year in a row, the registrar messes up the renweal, causing my site to drop out. Has anybody had any experience with such a situation? What is my legal position? Can I sue them? If I can can, for how much? Active ISP is Europe's largest domain name registrar. What can I do to ruin their reputation so thoroughly they never ever see buiness again? And finally a warning to all who is going to - or know someone who is going to - register a domain name in Europe: Whatever you do, dON't USE Active ISP!!!

You have my sympathy, Frank, you really do. It's not _entirely_ a thankless task running a good website, but it doesn't need much to go wrong before you can feel it's not worth it. A good deed never goes unpunished, someone told me once. And it's only a few days since I went there, wondering if I could check the notes of Dowland's Mistress Winters' Jump, which I've been learning from a local melodeon player (!!).

[abcusers] Goodbye
Frank, I'm so sorry you can't maintain Musicaviva any longer... It was a good place on the web. Is there a hope it will come back again ? Is it a money problem (cost of servers...) ? If so it's a real pity then. Can't you move to a free account ? I've seen also you speak about a job problem. I'm not good a saying things in such cases so I'll keep quiet then. about always remember that some of Gods greatest gifts come in the form of unanswered prayers.

Re: [abcusers] iabc 0.6 released
I choose Windows Media Player as my midi device ...I expected to be able to choose Play midi ... and the midi player would pop up and play the current tune. However, I found I had to export the tune to midi and ...with File/Open. Is this how it's supposed to work? No, its supposed to work like you expected, the player pops up and starts playing. Kind of hokey, but its the best I can do for now. You have to choose the media player .exe file (or a different program) as your player, which in my machine is in Program Files/Windows Media Player, and in some older machines might be in the windows directory. If you're doing this and its still not working, let me know what OS you're running and I'll try and reproduce it.
