Re: Loop This!

[Matt Davignon <mdavig@sfsu.edu>]

I'm working on putting stuff together for a "source" CD right now. As you 
noticed,
we announced very similar projects on the same day. I'm hoping to send 
some stuff
for your CD, but I'm waiting and hoping that there will be enough material 
for
both. I guess I only need to have a couple of minutes for each CD after 
all...
