 Your Slovak server is fine. Better than most here in the U.S. It plays 
in real time and loads faster than it plays (which is saying something 
for someone who is only on dial-up).BTW, the wife is Slovak, so I know 
what you mean by flakey, but they are usually good workers,  :)

 Good choice. I remember you sending me some stuff before which I 
thought was excellent. Not at all like some of this 'way-out' stuff I 
was writing about this morning. Hmm, let me see if I got this straight:
 1....Singer
 2....Paparrozzi
 3....Leone
  Man, I don't see how you could go wrong with a combo like that   :)
