Do I remember?  Heck yeah I remember.  The excitement of ripping open 
the padded envelope, listening to the tapes as they dubbed, making 
little notes of new music to buy, cursing the whims of fate when a 
track one loved would get missed in the flip....

Seriously, it was a big opening to a bunch of music I hadn't heard on 
this side of the ocean, and a very cool way to get to know (if barely) 
some of our transfer-agents in the envelope swapping game.

I still owe you beverages or food if we can ever hook up one side or 
the other of the Atlantic, Stuart!
