The Shred Room or The In-Betweeners Club

I love traditional prog and I'm fond of Rush and think RIO is okay. You'll find my 5 dollars in an envelope by the stairs.

I don't actually know.  Scott created the thread, I think because the others were Shed and Suede he wanted another "S" name - not much shredding going in here though (well maybe some bank statements).

Maybe this can be the name of the next incarnation.
Though that will be a while, the posting rate here is nowhere near that of Suede.

Also, to make you feel more welcome, poist.

I tried playing Strangeitude by the Ozric Tentacles, but my laptop rejected it.  For some reason or another my laptop freezes up on certain CDs.  It seems to be mostly the older ones.  It wouldn't be so bad if it just gave me an error message and said it didn't recognize the disc or something, but instead it plays the first 4 seconds and then it freezes up so that I have to turn off and reboot my computer. 

The CDs play fine in my car CD player, my CD player at home, and my desktop computer at home, but for some reason my laptop can't play them.  Unfortunately, the worst offenders are my Rush CDs.  None of the classics will play on my laptop.  Fortunately, I have Snakes and Arrows and the R30 Live Concert saved to my hard drive so I can get my Rush fix whenever I need it, but there are times I would like to throw in the other ones when I am here.  Of course, I could always save them on my desktop at home and then play them on my iPod.  Unfortunately, my desktop hard drive is almost at max capacity; thus I need to invest in another hard drive. 

I'm considering doing something like that, but that could be a huge undertaking and I might need a super computer to handle all those great rawking tunes.

Hey guys.

I think I got it from newegg...
