Chrisharris...
I'm sorry you feel that way, though I can understand why. I'm just recovering from a couple of days flat on my back (lousy food, I think...nothing serious), but I've been tweaking pages here and there, and replaced the yellow Java nav applet with images, which should speed up a number of people's browsing, especially Mac users.
I hope you will come to understand that the reason HomeRecording.com is so popular is that spirit has never died!!!
As far as being out of touch...I'm getting back. As far as "fixing this place"...let's adjourn to the feedback forum for that.
Mr. Q:
I was under the impression you had deserted this site forever. It looks like I'm wrong, and if that's the case, let's you and me talk about this Jamfest stuff soon! I still love you.
