There was no such thing as this silly "World Wide Web" (who thought a tongue-twisting acronym using three W's was a good idea anyway??). I belonged to THE music discussion email list, AllMusic, and I was constantly running over my massive 5 MB disk quota (most people only got 1MB) on the mainframe. Ahhhhh... the good ol' days. Heheheh. Times are changing, though email lists still rule. I wonder how we'll survive the changes coming in the next 50 years... :-) With cool stuff like PDA/MP3/Phones and the next DT album (err... I mean CD) around the corner, I'm looking forward to it. Can you imagine the stories we'll be able to tell our grandchildren about the cool times we had back when email and the WWW were first making communication about progressive rock possible? I can see it now... "Yes sonny, my first computer, the legendary Apple IIe, had 128 Kilobytes of RAM with the special memory expansion board." "Don't you mean Gigabytes, Grandpa?" "No, 'K', Kilobytes." "Sure Grandpa... you mean Meg?" "No! 'K' damnit!"

I'm listening to "Awaken The Guardian" again at present, and I can't help but think that, while Arch probably wouldn't fit into what FW is up to these days, he should be in *some* band. The dude's too good to have simply packed it in after getting kicked out of Fates.
