There's a different can of worms when you talk about singing "Sk8er Boi" (damn that lame attempt at leetness!), which infringes on the copyright on the *song itself* as opposed to the *recording* of the song.;)
1. *NSYNC changed labels (from RCA to Jive) 2. Mariah Carey Still R00LZ!!! 3. Sheryl Crow was (and still is, to some point) original. That's why I like her;) 4. Badfinger? Weren't they one-hit wonders with a song that Paul McCartney wrote that sounded like the Beatles and was released on Apple Records? *g* And...There was a Behind the Music on Badfinger?!
One of the best albums I've heard: Alfonso Marra Bax, "Cracks in the Sidewalk". His own label. I got my copy directly from him;) (he pulled a stint as a substitute teacher at my high-school while he worked on his CD).
Aha, then use MP2s instead *g* Still nice, still good compression, but you can really tell the difference. (I listened to "Kaze ni naritai" by Megumi Ogata on an MP2 and on a Taiwanese pirate CD)
That has jack to do with the RIAA (you mean MPAA). And George Lucas has always been an indie filmmaker even though his films have been distributed by the "big boys" (Star Wars: 20th Century Fox).
You want an 8-bit Apple ][ development environment, dump some ROMs and get a copy of Dapple ][ (Note for you OSS weenies: the ASMLIB source is all that hasn't been released yet of the stuff I *didn't* write, and you can probably run ndisasm on it. The rest is GPL). Then download CC65.
You may have to add a header consisting of the following to the cc65 binary file, if loading it doesn't work. (And give it a ".pg2" extension) struct load_header {
unsigned short int/*16*/ load_address;
unsigned short int/*16*/ load_length; };
You get 3,136 KB of RAM and a 1.44 MB floppy drive (the one sticking out of the front of your PC), in addition to all the usual//e niceties. *g* No Z80 yet, but we're working on that. No hard disk either, but that's trivial.
I might point out that an Apple IIgs is actually as good as a Super NES. *g* The CPU, a 65816, is a 16-bit version of the 65C02 and has 24-bit (16M) memory addressing. Plus, it has wavetable sound (in 1987!). Nice machine.

BTW, I'm looking for disk images of MECC programs (I already have Oregon Trail). Mainly the "Mastering Math" series and "Word Wizard v1.0". Just to reminisce. If someone has any of this, could they ADT/SST it and wing me a copy of the disk images? Please test your program with Dapple ][ (see above) on a DOS or Win9x box, or AppleWin on a Windows box, or..., first, to make sure it works properly.
