[TriLUG] RE: This is what happens when a OScompany shootsitsselfin the foot (MS Vista)

If you have any questions about the didg, catch me off-list!  There

I'm still teaching myself clawhammer style banjo, up to 3 songs now.
Also in January I become a community member of NCSU Pipes and Drums as
I learn how to play bagpipes! :)
