This would be the New Order

This would be the New Order: 30. Pajak 31. boxen 32. joneb 33. grdaed73 34. Dead Man Telling Tales 35. emily-j 36. hard_to_handle 37. TxJed 38. playdead 39. Billy S 40. mercedes42 But I've yet to hear from either boxen or joneb, and Billy S and playdead have already both been bumped to the end at least once, so keep your eye on the thread and when the head ahead of you in line gets IT, then pm your coordinates....

Well, well, wail...

I'm half way through the test (at least it feels half way - too far to swim back!) and no word from boxen. joneb - get on deck in case I don't hear from boxen by week's end. This stuff shouldn't linger in one place too long; might explode.

Acid Test vine is on the move again

Hi! I couldn't restrain myself from mailing this out today, even though I said "Saturday". I never heard back from playdead; Pajak however is ready, willing and eager to take The Test so it is on its way to the way northeast. And here I go again, unilaterally dicking with a signup list. I'm putting playdead and Billy S at the end, for obvious reasons, and correcting the numbering. Let me know if I'm pissing anybody off...but most of all: Enjoy!

Well now, the pressure mounts!

This'll be going somewhere on Saturday! Wake up, playdead, wake up! (and if I have to dick around with that signup list, I know another name that'll be getting booted to the bottom along with pd's ;^) ) ********************************************* I have a sigfile! --> www.kindveggieburritos.com *********************************************

I read that earlier on in this vine someone sent a copy of the data disc to Andre in Germany and sent the whole package onto whoever was next in the list. Either way if it could be sent to me that would be awesome. Cheers

hey thanks i got the disc in

hey thanks i got the disc in the mail. BUT there was only one disc. In the vine description it says there were 4 discs. I only received one. Is this correct?

I think so..

I only got 1 disc, it's the shn files on dvd, guess the wav files didn't get reseeded. I can't decode the shn files right now, so I'm just hoping it's all there and all good.

Acid Test

62. Island Girl >IN 8/13>OUT 8/1763. 10mileride> IN 8/26 64. Kidsmoke Pending that it is all there, 10mileride? Will PM upon confirmation. Cheers

hey kidsmoke...yes it is in

hey kidsmoke...yes it is in fact all here. I just saw the one disc and thought the rest were missing in the mail perhaps. After inserting the disc into my drive everything is in fact coded onto the disc : ) I will send the disc your way as soon as i finish the transfer to my machine. just pm me with your address
