1,000 Thankyous Paul! For those trying our today, note that Thursdays on Planet Radio are "throwback Thursdays" a tribute to the old days (complete with jingles) of US "hits" over the air stations. All other days are .."-and now for something completely different"- Just in case you tune in and like/don't like, tomorrow will be different :) Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Redrum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115201 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
