Man, I remember doing that. I can almost even remember the keystrokes he's using. The old trackers are still unparalleled for rapid music creation. Only recently discovered Schism Tracker; I plan on making gooood use of it.

That's the Jake I remember! He got started tracking a few years before I did, I believe. We spent a few years idling on IRC and doing a lot of music together using this program.
