Subject:Re: clonewheeler comparison files (was Re: Member music)

Sorry for the non cloneWheel related matter, received 40 messages just
today from this list. Personnally I don't mind since it usually takes me
about less than 10 minutes to go through that. But I just wanted to
encourage more of those kinds of urls to the list (see below). They
don't take much bandwith and are not prone to much discussions. Yet,
while I'm aware of their limitations (no info. on keyboard feel, etc.)
they do wonders for neophytes like myself who require a starting point
somewhere while narrowing the keyboard field ...somewhat. I've got
plenty of listening just there for at least a week. My thanks to Stoo
and to the person who put up that web page.
