MM,Thank you for letting me know that OPUS is worthless. All these years I've been unwisely using it! If only I'd talked to you, you could have set me...

Tom,Possibly, but what if he's right? I just can't understand MM's anger. MM even says his points don't agree with an OPUS solution. WHY NOT? Dave

That's a good video!Dave

"...a thousand years from now its going to be more than colossal in scope to go through every record..."That is one hell of a good point, Leon.Dave
