Yes, there is.  It won't be out until late 93-early 94.  It'll have to
wait until the last Queen album comes out.

Whatever you do, don't blame Queen for the Queen Collection.  I see it
as entirely Hollywood's stupidity and incredible greed.  Deacon, Taylor,
and May are millionaires many times over, and know how stupid Hollywood
is treating Queen fans.

Greetings from the void,

A friend recently commented that he had been unable to find any CD's by a group 
called "Reno Williams and the Sax Maniacs".  He described their stuff as R&B,
although he had also looked under "Rock" and "Blues" catagories.

Does anyone know if they have any albums out and if so, where in the DC area 
might he find them?

in sound quality between the two collections?

If not, does someone at least know if the song "For Your Life" from

While I'm sure some are, this certainly is not true for all.  We use magneto-
optical 5.25" rewritable disks, which we used to replace older 12" write-once
optical disks.  The magneto-optical is a new industry standard (lack of a
standard caused loads of trouble with WORM drives), and there are a number
of manufacturers using this format.  Capacity is in the 300 MB/side range
(the 12" were 600 MB/side) for us (varies by machine).  In fact the only
other computer optical I've seen is the 5" CD-ROM -- never seen a 3.5"
format.

To put the price of a blank MD in perspective, I submit that one blank 5.25"
rewritable optical disk (this is the same technology used by MD for it's
rewritable disks, though different than the pre-recorded MDs which are
like CDs) costs about $225.  A blank 12" used to cost about $500.  That's
still cheap compared to a hard-drive, but really expensive compared to
a $15 blank MD.

While I'm on, I'll list prices I've seen for MD/DCC:
	prerecorded MD (Tower)		$14  \
	prerecorded DCC (Tower) 	$16  /  I find this interesting
	prerecorded DCC (Lechmere)	$15
	Maxell blank DCC (Lechmere)	$14

	MD player (Lechmere)		$500
	Philips DCC deck (Lechmere)	$800

These prices are from memory, I apologize for any errors.

It's called Endless, Nameless.  It is also available on some versions (imports)
of the "Come As You Are" CD single.  It is possible that it will appear on the
release that comes out 12-15-92.  For those of you who don't know, I think it
is called "Insecticide", and is composed of (mostly) the b-sides of the singles
and other releases (maybe like Hormoaning and the Sliver EP).

Several people since told me about other pressings with the long "She

are: 'CDP-7-46009-2-1T (12)' and 'S9A26H 1-1-2 CAPITOL JAX 15C', and
apparently the latter is a fairly recent pressing, making that version of

Best Buy (the 2nd largest electronics chain in the USA has all MD's on sale
for $10 in the Dallas, Texas, area, and sells them regularly for $13.  Same
prices as CD's.

Also, a 128meg rewritable magneto-optical disc costs about $50, give or take
a few.

"Players" cost about a grand, and are not very popular because they are slow.
(35-45ms, compared to 12-18ms for a computer hard drive)

Some company just released a 5.25" rewritable MO drive that is 19ms, but $5000.

I've heard rumours/voices in my head saying that Sony's MD might be used for
computers.  Apprently Sony's MD's use some new technology and read the data
in one pass. (as compared to 2 for conventional MO devices)

     Here's my portable CD experience:

I purchased a Realistic CD-3250 from Radio Shack (no booing please!) about
a year ago and was real pleased with it up until two months ago when it
began resetting itself for no reason (even when it was not playing).  

The store said that the problem was a bad wiring connection ($40 + parts to
fix), but before I could bring it in, the Ni-Cad recharger (built-in) shut
down and battery power became useless.  

Since then, I was in an auto incident where my  player was demolished, making
it rather pointless to get it repaired in that condidtion.  But my CD player
lasted 10 months with no problems, and I purchased it at $120 -- which
comes out to $12 a month.  Oh well.

Whenever I decide that I'm going to buy a CD, one of the artists that I 
include in the possible choices are:
 
Brian Adams
or Tina Turner
 
Except, I still don't have ANY of their CDs because they are (and always 
have been) $20.00/disc.  I refuse to pay anything more than $14.95/disc.
Eventually, if enough people bought CDs by budget (i.e. not paying a 
certain amount) then maybe MORE CDs would cost less.

I saw a video this weekend for one of the songs on the "Bodyguard" soundtrack,
its this group called the S.O.U.L. S.Y.S.T.E.M., and they are produced by C&C
music factory...Its another usual C&C type production, dance music, rapping,
and a diva singing..The lead rapper,I noticed, looked very much like Michelle
Visage, from "Seduction"(Heartbeat, It takes 2)(She's the white one, with the

group that will be putting out an album eventually, and does this mean that
she will no longer be in the group "Seduction" if they, *do* reunite, as the
C&C have been promising for the longest time...

	I thought about this.  But I don't think it would work very well.
If you wanted to update the program (and you are not a registered user) you
would have to download all the updated files (about 800K compressed).  The
problem is that, in order to connect to Noteworthy to update your catalog,
you MUST have an account and a password.  Otherwise you are dependent upon
whomever you got the program from.
