Hi! Sorry to hear you are having hard times with the hard drive:-) Don't 
know what to say. Regarding the list: this particular list ( the Atari-MIDI 
archives...however I am copying Atari-MIDI on this mail.) is basically for 
storing files and the messages are just "notifications" that a file has been 
uploaded. To get into the beef of the matter, you need to send your mail to

atari-midi@yahoogroups.com


This is the main Atari-MIDI forum, while this group ( the Atari-MIDI 
Archives)is just for "notification" of uploads. Unfortuneatly, our archives 
are getting pretty full at the moment! :-)

YES...there are many users who do not have real Atari's but use Steem and 
run the more "unusual" left handed Atari apps that you would be hard pressed 
to find on the PC format. There are some members who use Steem running KCS 
as thier main sequencer and use Hubbies loopback to control softsynths on 
the same PC!

However, a real Atari can still be useful in the studio, even DISC only 
stuff (no Hard drive) as there are lots of programs that run fine by disc.

well...it would be nice to make a little money with our stuff...but looks 
like we have to find our own paths on how to do it!
