Hi, Brian,
Well, I'm glad you got my message.  Another thing about Prodigy, I had 
this really neat idea:  somebody could probably make a fast buck by 
suing them for not making their service useable by the visually 
impaired.  It seems to me that somehow, somewhere a law was passed that 
said that software developers had to make versions of there software 
which are compatible with adaptive equipment.  Well, if anyone brings a 
suit against Prodigy, I guarantee it won't be me--that's much too 
diligent a project.  It was only a nice, get-rich-quick daydream.  And 
even then it wouldn't be quick--you know how slow the courts are.  But 
maybe they could be pressured in some way...
     Anyhow, things generally are fine around here; I'm continuing with 
my composing--I'm well along with Miditrax, Vol. 2.  I'm working on 
several pieces at the same time right now so I've kind of lost track of 
how many there are.  At last count there were seven.  Also, some other 
news, I have now a third synthesizer which has some really neat sounds 
on it, and its strings are really excellent considering that they 
aren't sampled.  It's also a Roland and it has a pitch wheel.  And, one 
last thing, my copyright registration for Miditrax, Vol. 1 arrived in 
the mail last week.  Once I get a couple more details worked out I'll 
be posting a message here about its availability.  Oh yeah, one more 
last thing:  my friend John and I are gonna perform two of my 
compositions live with a portable sequencer here in the building next 
week.  I'm really excited about trying that.  Well, I've rambled enough 
for now but we'll talk soon.
