I gather the problem with Áine's computer at present, which is a desktop ine rather than a laptop, is that it does put quite a strain on the back sitting up at the desk and using the mouse and keyboard. Try it some time if you've even got an ordinary bit of backstrain.

So she's under strict orders not to cheat and use it for a while. Mind, giving strict orders to Áine might be counterproductive, but it's important she sticks to this one.

I'm hoping she's going to lie back and sing instead, with a microphone and a tape machine handy.

In the meantime, if you've got Real Audio or Real Plkayer or an equivalent that can play rm files, and you click on this you'll hear her singing her own song The Spring I was Six (the Tornado Song), and if you click here you'll hear her singing one I wrote, White Snow of the Springtime, with Layne.
