1. No 2. I remember mixed results being reported on the BNBB, as far as the installation of the interface is concerned. But you can always play the Quicktime movies manually from the subdirectories of the CD-ROM part, if you have Quicktime installed. Don't try to install the Quicktime program that's on the CD, it's 7 years old and completely outdated.

ZIP drives work well with computers of all age, but the disks are very expensive (price per MB)

Sorry Peter, I oversaw the fact that you have a laptop. You can also upgrade your laptop hard drive, but those are a bit more expensive and you need to reinstall all your software and files, unless you have somebody who can "clone" your existing drive with the new drive outside the laptop. A drive with more than 32GB could create problems, as the Bios of 1996 computers have trouble recognizing them. There could even be a problem with >8GB drives. Check the Dell website for a bios update. USB is usually rather unreliable on pre-1998 computers, and with Windows 98. And USB 1.1 burners can only burn with 2x speed maximum.

You can't use a web-based storage service as a replacement for a local hard drive. What if the company that runs the server goes bankrupt (such things happen on the internet)? Your files will be lost. Get a CD burner AND a bigger hard drive. A CD burner alone won't do it because you will need 700MB free hard drive space to prepare the files you want to write on the CD. 2GB is definitely too small nowerdays. You can install a second drive in addition to the existing one. A 30GB drive (the smallest new drives now available) costs less that $100, and you will be able to use it in your next PC or install it into a USB enclosure ($70) and use it as an external drive. A hard drive alone won't be enough either, because it is too risky to keep all your files on a hard disk, which is the PC part that is the most likely to fail.

Yes Big Wheel, you are completely right, and most websites (such as allmusic.com) whose pictures are frequently used by music discussion boards are reasonable enough not to complain about it. But they could, as they have the law on their side. So it is better to remove the pictures from the threads if the copyright owner requests it. Even if Historic Golf Photos' complaint seems ridiculous because only one picture was displayed, it must be acknowledged that they dealt with it in an unbureaucratic manner. In Germany, some copyright owners don't hesitate to immediately send a formal warning letter ("Abmahnung") through a lawyer, who is then allowed to have his "costs" ($300-500) reimbursed by the person which receives the warning! And they do this also with private homepage owners who are not competitors or making money with other's images. As far as I understand it from the legal situation in Europe, mere links to pictures on other websites cannot constitute copyright infringement, so threads with images would be no problem if just the link is posted without IMG tags making the picture visible within the message. But this would be less fun of course.

I think "Star people", "Decoy" and "Amandla" are very good albums. They can't be compared with "Dingo" or "Siesta", which are not really Miles' projects. As far as post-comeback live albums are concerned, I prefer "We want Miles" to his later concert recordings, which tend to rely on the same few tunes ("Time after time" and so on). His post-1987 live recordings are overrepresented on official albums and bootlegs.

You are integrating the picture into your website ("framing"). I explained the difference in my post on the first page.

If you think your computer is infected, use the removal tool from Norton: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcen...moval.tool.html

This new internet worm *should* not create problems for webservers (unlike previous worms), because it targets home computers (running Windows NT4, 2000 or XP) that have network ports 135 and 139 open to the internet. This can be prevented with a firewall and should not be a problem with wellconfigured webservers. However, everyone running one of these Windows versions should install the Microsoft patch, because the vulnerability is only possible because of a bug. http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/blast.asp This worm is really spreading dangerously, several hundred thousand computers worldwide have already been infected. The virus causes the PC to reboot when going online and scans whole internet IP ranges to try to infect other PCs.

As far as I know linking (not copying) a limited number of photographies or articles from other websites does NOT constitute copyright infringment. Links can only be considered an act of unfair competition under specific circumstances, if done on a larger scae and if the two websites concerned are competitors. However, the legal sutuation is different if a photography/article is linked in a way that it is visible within the other website (for example by using of IMG tags in this message board, or by framing a page from another website). This has been considered copyright infringement by a german court. (copyright infringement) http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/dr...e13458uf0fd.jpg (no infringement) But that's just one interpretation of the law by one (non-US) court. Copyright law is not that detailed as far as forbidden acts are concerned, it relies on interpretation. I would recommend to remove such pictures when the copyright owner complains about it. Anyway, a webmaster can take technical measures to prevent his pictures from being embedded in other websites. There are also ways for the board administrators to hide the board address from the webmasters, by routing direct links through public proxies. This requires a special add-on script for the board software.

Yes, the booklet of my CD (Made in Austria) says "Produced by Palle Mikkelborg" (also on the CD label) and "All songs written by Palle Mikkelborg". Mikkelborg writes: "Aura was composed when Miles Davis received the Sonning Music Prize in 1984. It is my tribute to him" But his name should also be on the cover, just like Gil Evans' name was on the covers of his albums with Miles.

Maybe the "problem" with Aura is that, although the music was written for Miles, it is essentially a Palle Mikkelborg album with Miles playing the trumpet part. The compositions have the same feeling as Mikkelborg's other projects, which mostly rely on written parts and don't have a lot of space for improvisation.

This series covers many facets of 20th century german (and austrian) classical music. The composers were discriminated more for their jewish origins or communist ideology than for the nature of their music. The most famous works are Zemlinsky's "Lyric Symphony" (if you like Mahler's "Lied von der Erde" you must have this), Krenek's symphonies and Korngold's violin concerto (very "Schmaltz", he later composed film music in Hollywood). Those discs are already sold out. The compositions are however available in other recordings.

It´s the hottest summer in western Europe too, for the past 50 years or so. And no rain in sight.

I've read on the old BNBB board that the sound of the new CDs is improved over the Mosaic set. There are also some tracks that have been discovered after the Mosaic box came out. I only have the new CDs. Obviously mid-1950's live recordings were not great, but the new remastering seem to make the best of them. The first concert sounds rather muffled (like AM radio) but the following are very well balanced, with all the bass notes clearly audible. The piano sounds rather cheap and out of tune, as on a lot of live recordings from that time. All in all, I find those CDs as enjoyable as Chet's Pacific Jazz studio recordings.
