Well. I probably didn't know of his demise until many months, if not _years_
afterwards. (Remember, this was before I was Net-savvy and HW info in the
US was damn-near non-existant.) I was at a family gathering and a freind of
the family's wife brought over a book that had important dates for various
rock bands in it (can't remember the title). Flipping to the HW entry, I was
shocked and dismayed to find that Capt. Lockheed had taken his final flight.
Bummed me right out...

I noticed the lack of traffic, too. Thought something was broken...

objCDPlayer: one of five German synth CD (I think its' Kistenmacher &
             Grosskopfs' CHARECTERS...). It is _so_ nice to be permanently
             telecommuting...:-)
