My filter just quarantined an email from steve@dropzone.com. The subject is "hello" and there is an executable file attached. Hope this helps somebody. My apologies if this is old news.

Thank you SkyDaemon. That certainly helps me gain access to the program, but can I copy it back to where it belongs? I'm too used to having CD's autostart. And yes, I'd love to scrap Windows for something that actually works, but I'm in too deep.

Something happened to Notepad on my XP Home machine. Going to Programs>Accessories>, I find it, but the familiar blue icon has changed to a white rectangle with a blue bar across the top. Now it won't open, and CD's won't automatically start, since the autostart init file usually uses Notepad. I found a working copy in the WNNT directory. Is it safe to simply copy it to the program folder, or will I create even worse problems? I searched the internet and saw the situation can be caused by trojans, but I scanned my system and it's clean.

You're getting lots of great answers here. I think your next step is to go to your friendly neighborhood music store. If the salespeople there know their stuff, they will lead you in the right direction. Best advice I've heard in my 37 years of playing is buy the best you can afford today. One caveat, here in the Washington, DC area everybody I know will steer clear of the national chains. They are only interested in making their daily sales goal and don't know much about the products. The independently owned shops around here are the only ones I'll go to. I've played blues, rock, folk, bluegrass, jazz, you name it over the years. There's nothing like the sweet sound of a good guitar, especially to the person playing it. Good luck with your musical adventures. Feel free to PM me if you have more questions.

I would go with Dreamweaver. If you were just dabbling, FrontPage or Notepad would be fine, but you would eventually "move up" to something more robust. The learning curve is high with DW, but with the help of tutorial book and Macromedia's forum, you can have a basic site up in no time. It is a good idea, as some have said, to learn some basic HTML to help tweak the code now and then. Good luck with your site.

Here's another one, www.visionmusic.com. Lots of free lessons, and jam tracks with which to play along. If you already read music, you can take intermediate to advanced lessons that are well worth the money. There are only to kinds of music; the good kind, and the other kind - Duke Ellington

Did you look into Chapter 11 of the treaty? It gives foreign corporations the right to sue the US Gov't for lost profits. Case in point, a company that makes a carcinogenic gasloine additive is suing because California banned it. Not only that, the hearings are held in private; no media allowed. Our elected leaders pass legislation to protect our lives, and then we as taxpayers pay up for it. It looks like they sold us down the river. Oh, and one of the chief US negotiators for the treaty resigned upon its passing and went to help a Canadian tobacco company sue because they are forced to put the health warning on their packaging. I saw something about this on PBS, maybe someone with more knowledge than I can shed some light on this. I sure hope it's not as bad as it seems.

OK, so how about a hint on the Diz tune?

Hmmm, if you take the Jobim number, change the first two chords to GbMaj7- GbMaj7 B9-B9 you get the chorus to Girl from Ipanema. At least that's the way I learned it.

How about 5 points for the first one- Giant Steps.

One thing you could mention is the mood you're looking for. You would use certain chords in an up tempo jazz number that would be totally out of place in something folksy, and vice versa.
