Figuring out this temperamental beast

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BELINDA.. I hope you have a really good one today! :) It was neat knowing you all those years.

I'm still trying to figure out this temperamental beast..
got a bunch of good suggestions and advice from people..
some of it helped, but this thing's still not working..
probably it's for the better that no one's buzzed me yet..
not that I'd go all postal on them, but you never know ;)
and yes, it's freaky when the same song comes on both the CD and TV / radio at the same time..
just had that experience yet again, but it's a good one! ;)
now, to see what else can be done with this thing..
