23 Jul 03 - 09:07 AM (#988728) Subject: YO! MAX! From: GUEST,MMario Max; by any chance have you received a package for Lily Ani in the MudCat Cafe Mailbox recently? I'd wait for you to tell us - but you see - many people are waiting on tenterhooks for the result of an ultra-secret project. If you HAVEN'T gotton the package I'd like to ship off another one to try and get it to you and your womenfolk before Lily Ani's six month birthday. |

24 Jul 03 - 03:05 PM (#989829) Subject: RE: YO! MAX! From: Max OK, I got it. I must say that that is one of the most special things we have ever had the pleasure of receiving. I picked it up from the PO Box and waited till we were all having dinner together to open it. We were very surprised and pleased, and overwhelmed at the effort that must have gone into this. Thank you, thank you thank you, For anyone that isn't in on this, it's a personalized CD for my munchkin, Lily. 22 songs and 2 stories, I think, from many of her Mudcat Aunts and Uncles. We put it in the DVD player when we got home from dining out, and listened to it right then and there, through the TV speakers. Lily kept looking up at the blank TV screen expecting to see something. It couldn't have come at a better time. She's been particularly fussy lately. There is a summer virus going around that the doctor thinks is giving her a sore throat, plus she's probably teething, and its been real hot here in the last couple of days. Well, thanks again everyone, you are the best bunch of loons a boy and his family could know. This is truly a prize that is now a Spiegel-Zink family treasure. I'll have Lily post her thoughts when she's old enough to understand the musical, technical and global spirit of such a wonderful gift. Thank you. |

24 Jul 03 - 03:43 PM (#989856) Subject: RE: YO! MAX! From: katlaughing Glad it got there. Enjoy! Thanks to MMario for instigating this and to the others who helped actually put it together, too, it was fun! Hard to keep a secret, though, I agree! |

24 Jul 03 - 03:51 PM (#989864) Subject: RE: YO! MAX! From: Max Yeah, MMario, that was one of the first things I thought about. Don't know how you all did it, but it sure was a surprise. Well done. |

24 Jul 03 - 04:26 PM (#989889) Subject: RE: YO! MAX! From: Jeri MMario got a bit of flak for his "secret project" posts, but now everybody knows. I would have sent something, but the 'in' part of my sound card screwed and I don't have anything else to record on except mini-disc. No way to get it OFF the MD, though. |

25 Jul 03 - 09:47 AM (#990392) Subject: RE: YO! MAX! From: GUEST,MMario I've made copies for the contributors - and I thought we'd check with Max re: more I would say - possibly restrict it to members? and suggest sending a contribution in? Whaddya think? |
|
25 Jul 03 - 10:48 AM (#990441) Subject: RE: YO! MAX! From: wysiwyg Auction one, and then market it as part of the Mudcat CD set, but charge more for it because it is a special item. Then also see if additional children's music CD's are made to keep extending the Mudat series. ~S~ |
|
25 Jul 03 - 11:47 AM (#990484) Subject: RE: YO! MAX! From: katlaughing MMario, that sounds like a good idea, to me, depending on how the others feel about actually producing more..it's their time and energy, as well as yours. I think whoever actually burns the CDs should be reimbursed for their costs. Don't charge more...young parents need all of the extra cash they have and some grandparents, etc. are on limited incomes. |
|
25 Jul 03 - 11:55 AM (#990490) Subject: RE: YO! MAX! From: GUEST,MMario if we stick with "home burned" - I'm willing to do it and cover the costs... of course that means the actual CD is "labeled" with a felt tip. |

25 Jul 03 - 06:22 PM (#990770) Subject: RE: YO! MAX! From: Stilly River Sage I'm having a bunch of CDs burned and labels printed on them at the University Press attached to the university where I work. The graphic can be formatted to the template they provide for that print. I can ask how much per piece for a limited run. That would be a black and white lable, however. If you print a jacket (say, use a color laser printer and cardstock and print it so a couple of covers can come out of each sheet) then you could have the full colors available on the outside. I'll PM MMario to discuss more details. But I'm willing to check on prices, and to do the legwork at the university, once I'm back over there, in two or three weeks. (The foot's coming along, I'm shuffling without the crutches now, but still have it up 6 hours a day). SRS |

28 Jul 03 - 08:47 AM (#991893) Subject: RE: YO! MAX! From: GUEST,MMario I have to go round robin hood barn to get into the mudcat these days due to the influence of the Evil Queen Bess (the content filter on my computer) - unless I do a couple of extra steps I'm a "guest" - but I do have access to my pm's. At least when I'm not in the sixteenth century. (which is all weekend) |

28 Jul 03 - 09:51 AM (#991933) Subject: RE: YO! MAX! From: MMario well - y'see; BESS is a subscription service - and the filtering is actually setup by a nationwide company - I *could* ask for an overide code - but it has to be approved by the Superintendent for our BOCES district - and would be kinda hard to explain... |

28 Jul 03 - 06:44 PM (#992272) Subject: RE: YO! MAX! From: Burke Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES). A BOCES is a unique and innovative educational institution in New York State, established to help public schools share services. BOCES operates as an extension of local school districts and the New York State Education Department. Found that at Broome-Tioga BOCES web site. I think in MMario's case the BOCES provides computer services to school districts in the county. |
