AWESOME!!! Thanks Bigmathews!

And Ajay, weirdness should remain unexplained. I will say that I am such a huge fan of this movie that even the most trivial matters are interesting. Now to get that song into my iPod collection. biggrin

Yup! There's just something sexy about the original, analog oldschool hardware.
