Sorry for spam :)
 
Asking once more if any1 is travelling from/through the Nottingham area before I go book my train tickets. Willing to put up petrol money obviously, me and public transport don't get on too well :p
 
Cheers :)

I completely forgot to post my guess for the medals, but looking at the medal table it's higher than I would have guessed.  Good to see GB doing so well!
 
Rearwing, really glad to see that someone is bringing a Macbook with Fidelia.  I've always been a PC user but recently saw some reviews on Headfonia about better playback software, all of which is Mac only.  I'd really like to hear how it compares to a PC using Foobar.  If anyone else has specific playback software that they use I'd love to have their feedback on how it performs.

FragmentedGod,
 
I'll be bringing my MacBook Air which has a solid state drive and Decibel playback software installed. I'm also likely to install another program to compare with Decibel by September - you're welcome to have a listen at the meet.
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.

I am really pleased with it, I had auditioned several and had been part of the beta testing of Enqueue. Of the ones I have listened to, it gives me what I want in terms of soundscape and at the moment it operates as an audio library only - I question the need for album art!

Andy / Rearwing,
 
That sounds great on both counts. I don't have the budget to get a new mac laptop, but I know some of my friends upgrade regularly so I may be able to get a good deal on an older one.  If the difference is significant it will end up on the list heh :).
 
I honestly can't believe the variety of equipment and configurations on offer at the meet!  There isn't going to be enough time :).
 
OK-Guy, why would Mitt Romney be pissed off?  I don't follow.

Holowlegs,
 
Congratulations you've won the Olympic competition with your entry below. 
 
In my estimation - and the judges decision is final - your medal guess was the closest to the eventual tally for team GB.
 
A bundle of audio goodies will be posted to you soonest.
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.

FragmentedGod,
 
The Mitt Romney thing perplexed me too. Is he known for being anti British? 
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.

yet another senator from the USA who is well up on foreign-policy... on the eve of the Olympics when Mitt Romney was in London to promote his foreign-policy to the people of the States, he questioned the UK's ability to hold a successful & secure Olympic Games, in truth he was pretty condescending about us.
 
well done Frank.

Congrats Frank!  Sounds like it's already a good meet up for you :D.
 
Ahh gotcha.  I did read some of those comments.  Forgot about that.  I try not to get involved in discussions around American politics, but with stuff like this it's hard not to comment.  We elect our fair share of buffoons as well <cough>Boris<cough> :wink:.

Boris may act the buffoon but he's our buffoon and very clever with it... unlike Romney (as appears in your link)
