Hah! Hi Ric!

Yeah, I've been very busy workiing on that piece of cr**. ;)
It feels like all the work was a waste, but hey! It looks awesome atleast ;)

Calling Berlin? Heh, check out their homepage. 'For technical
advice/information please send us 50 dollars or 60 euro'. :)

Thats not good support, right? Everyone is badmouthing steinway, but when I
mailed them about a lost key for a grand piano, they just mailed back and
asked what model etc and sent one for free. Thats what I call good PR.

Ric: Get your ICQ up again ;)

Best regards,
Daniel Lindholm / Sweden
