Oh cool, thanks Donte. You got me out of the garden and into the two boxes propping up my mickrowave. One could probably carry both boxes onto an airplane, but I was still lost for about 30 minutes in choosing what stuff to scan onto my Vox page. *I have TWO copies of the Sno*Boy 7" - one opened, one in dusty mint condition! The reeltoreel tape was discovered putting stuff back in the boxes. Now to get techno on my ass and find a converter to Audio cd.
