    That's pretty cool. A lot of people use CP, but only a select few seem to get completely involved to the point of being regulars around here. I wonder why the others miss it, I obviously work for CP nowadays, but even before I did, this is pretty much my home on the web, I don't really go many other places ( except for our blog, of course ).

        It is part of my rotating CPhog list. It thought it was worth it.

        I still think you guys should build your own little system. That way you can do something like have a CD trading area where people who no longer listen to certain cd's can send them in for other members to enjoy.

          That sounds cool, but I'd never use it. I keep all my CDs. I have just shy of 950, and I am looking to hit 1000 sometime shortly after my next US trip, in March.

            I have a few old CD's that I would gladly part with. Sometime you just stop and think "Why the **** did I buy something that hasn't been good in 4 years".

              Very cool! I'd like to hope I've contributed (given) as much as I've listened (received). I sure have gotten a ton from this place. I'll never forget my reason for registering was to use Chris's grid for commercial work. He wasn't curious, cautious, tentative or anything else. Chris, "Sure go ahead and use it. I wish you the best." I remember that I had just spent some several hours going over his code and thinking, "As fine a tool as this is, and for him to give it to a guy who just registered today and for him to respond personally...." Well I thought, "That is cool. I'm sticking around to see what else I can find. I'll never know what happened to the work I did with the grid control. I kind of think it got sniped and is more or less living in with someone else getting all the credit with my former employer but oh well. It's on their heads I guess. I know I'm still here and with 5000 posts to prove it I have to say that it feels good. I feel like I've worked hard to hit 5000. I feel like I've tried to make it fun for many, serious for few and very open and approachable for many. So here is to CP, a great 20007 and hopefully 5000 more post before I have to try and think of more stuff to say.:-D:rose::cool:

              I could be using this and very shortly to build a retail
              grid control for private consumption. It will be consumed
              entirely by a large manufacturing company and possibly
              sold later on the web. I expect that your code will be
              about 5%-10% of total source when done I would provide
              the other 90%. Do you have any problems with this? Do I
              have your permission? You can have a free license to the
              binary if you wish :).

                    so tell me how do you fit doing work in while writing 50 000 comments? because by factoring replying 50 000 times you must have read over 200 000 + comments

                            Oh, I have CDs I would never listen to. But, while I don't buy CDs just to increase my 'numbers', I do take a perverse pride in having nearly 1000 of them. And, I'd have trouble selling some of them.

                              Surprisingly, Winamp works really well. It has a search box, and it searches pretty quickly. I have a lot of CDs I need to rip, but what IS in my mp3 collection, comes to 56 days, 17 hours and 32 seconds worth :-)

                                Sounds like a cool idea, you should run it by Rex, he's the one in charge of the architecture, to see if it would work.

                                  Very cool! I'd like to hope I've contributed (given) as much as I've listened (received). I sure have gotten a ton from this place. I'll never forget my reason for registering was to use Chris's grid for commercial work. He wasn't curious, cautious, tentative or anything else. Chris, "Sure go ahead and use it. I wish you the best." I remember that I had just spent some several hours going over his code and thinking, "As fine a tool as this is, and for him to give it to a guy who just registered today and for him to respond personally...." Well I thought, "That is cool. I'm sticking around to see what else I can find. I'll never know what happened to the work I did with the grid control. I kind of think it got sniped and is more or less living in with someone else getting all the credit with my former employer but oh well. It's on their heads I guess. I know I'm still here and with 5000 posts to prove it I have to say that it feels good. I feel like I've worked hard to hit 5000. I feel like I've tried to make it fun for many, serious for few and very open and approachable for many. So here is to CP, a great 20007 and hopefully 5000 more post before I have to try and think of more stuff to say.:-D:rose::cool:

                                  I could be using this and very shortly to build a retail
                                  grid control for private consumption. It will be consumed
                                  entirely by a large manufacturing company and possibly
                                  sold later on the web. I expect that your code will be
                                  about 5%-10% of total source when done I would provide
                                  the other 90%. Do you have any problems with this? Do I
                                  have your permission? You can have a free license to the
                                  binary if you wish :).

                                  Best Regards,


                                  Totally Cool!**

                                  Wow. I'm only just a little over halfway to 100. At this rate, I'll be 90 by the time I've caught up with you. :) Congratulations! :rose:
