prior crisis averted, now we just need someone of able body to help me load the truck on wednesday morning/ early afternoon. the heavy items to be moved are 1) a sofa, and 2) a mattress. the rest of the items aren't too bad.
many many many thanks.

check out an mp3 i encoded. it loops like that until the program is killed. the click-click-click-click at the start is me typing "run" after i started the recording. the extended wave at the end is because sound output locks up in Atari800X on the mac when the menubar is accessed. the output seems occasionally choppy because it was real-time sound synthesis done in BASIC, on a motorola 6502 running at 1.79 MHz. it's not just the emulator, it sounded choppy on the real thing too. good demo, eh?
