Greetings, Here's another fun topic: The International Lyrics Server is back, offering tens of thousands, soon to be hundreds of thousands of song lyrics to the world ... If you can access the Java applet used to display them. Apparently to get around previous objections of copyright infringement, they have the lyric text appear in such a way that it refreshes periodically & cannot be printed out. This also means that I can only get the occasional scrap using JAWS3.5 and IE5. Another version of the old problem of proprietary formats, publisher control, etc., but I would be interested if anyone has any comments on the site. Btw, the light-dependent folks who alerted me to the new site also hate the applet. Patrick Patrick J.
