Boele and others... For the third time, (fourth if you count my original ex5tech forum post), I wrote an update regarding OS updates and the User Forum Soundset at the following link: http://www.ex5tech.com/ex5ubb_cgi/ultimatebb.cgi? ubb=get_topic&f=23&t=000009 (Note: If your email client or the Yahoo website has split the text of the link above, you will need to copy/paste it into the address bar of your browser.) The bottom line is that it's looking like "early summer". Are my emails not getting through to the group??? Boele and Stefan - WRT the User Forum Soundset, I sure hope you guys will elect to participate, for the reasons already stated in the forum thread linked above. Thanks!
