...long before 2002 started to ask me if I would prefer to continue downloads or receive quarterly exclusive CD's. Sadly I no longer have the mail but did anyone else receive it?

I imagine that based on the response of the members at that time that they would go down the quarterly CD route. In theory this is still the better option for me. As a collector, I like to have something official (and hopefully exclusive) in my collection rather than a whole load of burned MP3's but will galdly go back to downloading if it meant more accessability and consistency.

I hope that the club continues in 2003 and despite earlier criticism I will rejoin on the strength of Xpectation and Empty Room. All things concsidered I did well from the club last year, two concerts, two soundchecks, one aftershow, and a couple of CD's as well as previously receiving Rave in2 the Joy Fantastic and Rainbow Children at no cost.

I hope Prince finds time to tour again and that he visits some new countries. The year will be a lot more enjoyable if all members are satisfied.

Wouldn't it be nice if this particular forum was mostly quiet next year, other than people singing it's praises. I hope you all have a Happy New Year,

Geeman
