Re: buggy awful MD

2002-09-30 by creepjoint

Aaaaahhhhh, I should read the messages here more often. My 
machinedrum has been sitting on a shelf waiting for me to send it for 
a check up. Ive had this same problem and it really pissed me off. I 
thought it was some crazy assed permenant bug as I couldnt do 
anything with the damn thing. Cant wait to go home and see if I can 
sort it out.

Love and Kisses to you all ;)
