Hi John. I nearly mentioned that you prodded me to join this site but I figured I'd waffled way too much anyway. I'm from a town called Consett near Newcastle, actually County Durham.
I'm sure Carcenomy and I will cross paths if that is the case. I'm not so much into my Amigas nowadays but I did spend a little time getting some double-height chars to work on the Vic lastnight with CBMPrgStudio. As usual I couldn't be bothered to fix TrainTracker's music player. I'm having a bit of a hard time getting my head around my own code where tempo handling is concerned. I just hope I pull my finger out before the new year as I'd love to get on with the editor which will be way more fun.

I'm also working on obtaining an SX64 and a mint VIC20... will post progress on those endeavours. If you need any 64 parts just sing out, I'm sure we can work out a deal.
