i'm having trouble with some files not decompressing once they're downloaded... any help?
Last night 'twas witching Hallowe'en
Dearest; an apple russet- brown
I pared, and thrice above my crown
Whirled the long skin; they watched in keen;
I flung it far; they laughed and cried me shame
Dearest, there lay the letter of your name!

You need to use the new version of Winzip. They must be using a new compression scheme. Just choose Evaluate when you install it.

And I'd like to offer my sincere thanks to tantraman again. Listening to these really puts me into the holiday mood. This weekend I'll listen to them all again while drinking some Bloody Marys. Blah! Blah!

That may be the problem. I'm quessing WinZip is using a new compression scheme. Says it's 100% compatible with other programs but that doesn't seem to be true in my case. It's unlikely, judging by the name, there's a version for the Mac. If your Mac's built-in program can't extract em try the latest version of Stuffit, or The Unarchiver. Maybe one of these can handle the files.

What I've played so far I've really liked. I actually found a couple songs I've never heard before (the one by Elvis = cool!) that I'll definitely add to my mix. Now that I've got the rest extracted I'll listen to em. At least I will when I get less distractions.

I've got a pretty good collection myself but most of them are still in print so I don't think I'd feel comfortable about making them available. But that doesn't keep me from telling you where I got them.

Have you ever gone on Usenet? Or newsgroups as they're also called. Check out alt.binaries.holiday and alt.binaries.halloween during the next couple months. They're like a clearing house of Hallowe'en related media. You can find just about anything there... carving patterns, music, tv shows, books, ect. Also check alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.sound-effects specifically for sound effect CDs. You can usually find stuff spread throughout many of the binary groups towards the end of October.

I just checked all three groups. Nothing yet. I've seen posts start as early as the middle of September in the past. There is a bunch of 'December holiday who's name I will not say' related material in absm.sound-effects.

Best 80's movie EVER.

I recently made a DVD out of an old VHS copy that I ave had forever. It's not top quality but I have it digitized!
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

It's not a website, it's an older part of the internet. One of the oldest. You need a separate program to access it. You could use Outlook Express but I strongly suggest a better program, like Free Agent. You also need to find out your internet provider's news server address.

Hmmm... Forte no longer has a free version of Agent but you can find one here. There are other free programs out there that are optimized for downloading binaries, the important thing is that they support something called yEnc. If you're interested, and no one else objects, I could probably write up a tutorial.
