You're in luck then, Chris. I just happen to have 50 invites i could send you. :D Hmmm, Google raising the limit to 2GB, would this have anything to do with the fact that Yahoo is now giving 1GB to their free email accounts?

I've never seen one like you describe, but it's very common to see them with the colors reversed (natural notes in black and accidentals in white).

Last rites doesn't mean necessarily that he's dying. It's customary to receive last rites if you're seriously ill.

Here's some more on the unit: the MZ-NE410 is a very basic unit.

Don't worry about the chemicals, it's not like they'll kill you immediately or anything. Heck, it'll probably take months! :D
