Yeah, do what he said; just put it on a floppy disk and transfer it. If you need instructions on how to do this, please call

OK, I posted the Quack alert sound on my iDisk (username simonk) and on http://macrules.com/users/browsers/quack.hqx

If it is illegal, I will take it off immediately.

Does that mean it is or isn't illegal?

Check this Super Quack out that was kindly e-mailed to me by someone who clearly understands irony, sarcasm and other slightly more evolved forms of humour!

Of course Blue Monday by New Order, although I was far more of a Joy Division/Ian Curtis fan. Am I showing my age?

Speaking of 12" - Remember Malcolm McClaren's Waltz Darling - now that's another modern(ish) classic.

Damn, I think something's jumping in my shirt

Over here he's credited with introducing (amongst other things) the fashion of high-tops with no laces which he apparently saw in NY. Ah, the good ole days.
