Awesome



Sariah and I went to Half Price Books yesterday to look for some Curious George books and some other things. I'm looking into taking some music theory/composition courses either online or some where around town. (If you have any good ideas let me know!) So I though I'd just check and see if they had any theory books I could study on my own. That's when I picked up The Music Kit by Tom Manoff. It was reasonably priced, and hey, its a computer assisted version, which I thought was sweet, since I have a computer program for the writing of the music. I felt something hard at the back of the book & I thought, great! free softwear, so I flip to the back & check it out...
Awesome, right? I think the last time I saw a floppy this big was 1993....

What, your computer doesn't have a floppy drive? :)

Too bad you aren't closer, otherwise you could borrow some of my theory books. I also have a UBS disk drive... :)

P.S. Yay for a new blog post!

Yes, it's been a while since I've seen those. But hey, you can enjoy the book anyway. Have fun.
