Re: more info, and a call for help

Hmm.. I don't know, I'm having problems even connecting to your  
icommune.net music folder.  I did once on one of the machines hre, but 
deleted the playlist while playing w/ different things and now I can't 
get the list again.  The little world icon appears but the update 
button never glows blue.  I tried trashing the app and all files 
containing the word 'icommune' then rebooted and reinstalled but alas.. 
nada.  Any ideas?

Oh, and here's a thought... it'd be nice if there was a way to update 
the info in a collection (ie change the name or address).  I, as w/ 
many people I'm sure, use a computer that uses DHCP.  Now, say a friend 
of mine adds my name to their list, a few days go by and they want to 
connect again, but alas my address has changed.  Ok, while deleting and 
reentering the info isn't THAT big of a deal, it'd be thing to be able 
to do.. plus it'd help me realize when I've got a typo in an address v. 
a bad link.

- btw, excellent start!  Can't wait to be able to use this in a  more 
real way!
