[DQSD-Users] New to the list, thought I'd share a search

[Paul Hounshell]

Nifty little search for searching BetaNews to find out about new betas attached.   beta 123 - returns the last 123 betas beta mp3 - returns recent betas containing "mp3" in the name or description   That's all.  Any other nifty searches that are "must-have"s?       Paul Hounshell   Email:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
