Wow. I haven't heard the Oblique Strategies moniker in many a year. I'll definitely have to install this widget on my PB. I had a bud (after HS back in the early 80's) that had a set of OS cards, but I don't know which edition they were.

Off topic, but has anyone heard the new Eno CD that came out a week or two back? I previewed a few of the tracks on iTMS, but haven't picked it up yet.

Duff-Man says....I had a set of the 1979 edition (that was the 2nd print)...while a cool item they really just ended sitting in the box on a shelf....I eBay'd them earlier this year - got almost $200usd for them....I can just as easily use the widget version.

I bought the new cd last week....good, but not great...I give it a B+...but as with many of his records it may take a few more listens to grow on me....oh yeah!
