Subj: IRH Date: Sat, Jan 6, 1996 12:11 PM EST From: dimitri@infobahnos.com X-From: dimitri@infobahnos.com (Jimmy Papadopoulos) To: rabbett@eworld.com

Hello Rabbet,

At this time, (while writting this message), I listen to your broadcast. I listen to your great music IRH Dace Party. The songs that you put and the way you put them are great!

I have a trick to listen to your broadcasts: I log in the IRH page, and then I load the .RA file and after that I minimize the RealAudio player. That allows me to listen to your broadcast while browsing the internet, writting messages, transfering files or run other windows or dos programs while listening to your broadcast!

I'm located in the City of Montreal in Canada. That's 6000 miles away from your station!!! :-) That's what I call the "Power of Telecommunications".

Island of Hawai: Paradise... Wonderful weather... Sun... Hot Hot Hot (as the song),... The Pacific ocean... temperature: 87oF

City of Montreal: Cold weather, lots of clouds, Cold Cold Cold -30oF...

By the way, your signal is Very strong, No errors at all, Fast and reliable transmission, and the sound is comparable to a Strong AM station. frequency response: 60Hz - 3kHz, Noise floor: -50dB Excellent! My soundBlaster 16 is connected to my stereo system and I enjoy your broadcast that came from Hawai, that crossed the Pacific Ocean, that crossed the US, that crossed Canada to arrive at Montreal. (Near Atlantic Ocean.) Keep the good work and don't forget that I have my ears on your station!!!

Here in Montreal Canada, I have a radio show every Sundays from 6pm to 12 midnight in Greek for the Greek Community. And I'll broadcast a International show (in Greek) in the internet. I'll be able to reach Greeks far away were no Greek station exists. I began to set it up. I'll use TrueSpeech audio. I can't use RealAudio because my computer is a 486sx2/66 without a Math Co-processor. The RealAudio encoder requires a math co-processor. And the other option that I'll go with TrueSpeech is because it's free! 1 hour of audio consumes 3.6 Mb od HD space.

My home page is set up already: http://www.infobahnos.com/~dimitri/home.htm

It's not ready yet because I'm waiting for My Internet Provider to configure the server to recognise .wav dsp encoded files.

PS. On your latest broadcast you said: "It's Tuesday January 2nd 1995..." I'll take this opportunity to wish you a Happy new Year. Don't forget next time: we are in 1996! ! ! Bye and keep up the good work, say Hi to everybody from Me (Jimmy) from Montreal Canada. and I have my ears on you!


Subj: RA 2.0 feedback Date: Sat, Jan 6, 1996 9:55 AM EST From: murray@cyberenet.net X-From: murray@cyberenet.net (David Murray) To: rabbett@eworld.com

Hey Rabbett,

Works fine! Sounds Great! (But my computer's breaking a sweat.)

I've been listening for a while on RA 1.0, and your show brought a nice relaxed island feel to my room here in New Jersey. The audio quality was poor, but I got the general feel of the music. It was sorta like listening to the entertainment from the hotel next door.

Well now, its like walking right in to the show, paying the cover charge and sitting down. No, the sound's not perfect, but much better.

The hard part is that my computer (Pentium 90MHz, 8M memory) seems busier, and whenever I ask it to do anything while the audio is playing, it interupts the audio. Before it would only interrupt it sometimes.

Anyway, I hope you dualcast in V 1.0 and V 2.0 for a while, since not all of us have the equipment to listen to 2.0.

Keep it going!

Rabbett;

Files sound great, but was botherd by continious breaks in the file, packet delivery was indicating as high as 45% loss factor. I am running Win95, 16meg ram, 486DX2-66 Tristar Computer and a 28.8 modem, ATT Dataport. While the file was playing, stereo quality was obvious.

Happy New Year,

Jack

--Sounds like a connection problem, as you'll read we have even made Switzerland in good quality!

I am listening to your site using RA2.0 from Springfield Il. Keep up the great work. The sound quality is fair with some break up but clear enough to understand and enjoy the news and talk features. The music quality is pretty good. It is incredible that I can get your programs here in Illinois and feel like I am almost visiting Hawaii. It snowed 6 inches here yesterday and the high was 20 degrees, tomrrow the wake up temp is predicted at 7. It is 130Am here so the web traffic low I hope the quality is as good during the day. What does Da Kine mean anyway? Keep up the great work, I really have only started to explore your site.

Hi Rabbett! I just discovered this h4 internet stuff tonight. Oh, my name is Tiffany Lum (I'm on my roommates computer right now) and I'm a freshman at the university of washington. I graduated this past year from Kamehameha Schools and I lived in Hawaii all my life. I miss Hawaii so much but these neat Hawaii home pages have helped me get over some of my homesickness. I just taped all the KCCN jingles from my room. Technology is amazing. Anyway if you've got the time, email me at tanuki@u.washington.edu You're doing a good job so far. Keep it up. Aloha! Tiffany

Wow! I thought the old real audio was pretty neat, but this is almost as good as my actual radio! Best of all, I can listen to IRH and work in telnet windows without seeming to affect the sound quality.

Love your site and makes me miss Hawaii! I have the same problems with RealAudio 2.0 that you mention. The first download remains closed, and I have to manually hit the play button. The second download does not displace the first one, and hitting play still plays the first selection. They also do not appear on the "Open Recent" menu.

The problem has been fixed...it's a bug in the player but we have added a signal to the ram files to make it work..

Rabbett,

I'm listening to Gabby and he sounds great! The audio quality is much better than with the previous version.

I'm having a small problem with the Beta RA player in that it sets its process priority to HIGH, thereby slowing everything else on the system to a crawl. (I'm running Windows NT 3.51, 486/66, 28.8 modem, 28MB memory, Netscape 2.0 Beta 4 (32-bit), 32-bit RA Player Beta 1.) But I think this is not *your* problem!

Hey Rabbett!

Thanks for the Hawaiian site! I've been on the mainland for thirteen years now. Sure is nice to hear some of the old tunes, and to hear what's going on currently in the Hawaiian music scene.

I camd to Hawaii in 1959 to work on the sugar plantations. I cut my eyeteeth on Lucky Luck and Aku. Some of your old music sure brings back memories. (Sure would like to hear some of Melveen sometime; Is she still down south?)

My wife is a Kauai girl, so we get back once or twice a year. When on Oahu we stay in Kaneohe. I'll be retiring shortly, and when I do we will be right back there. Until then, keep up the good work!

You've done a great job on your site. I connect at 28.8 kb and it is good. Not high fi - but usually quite good. I'm especially interested in what you are doing, for my intent is to work the net once I retire. You've really found a great niche.

Aloha,

I really think this is probably the best thing that Hawaii has to offer on the WWW. I am building a web page for the RainBird (Windward Community College's yearly literary magazine). I think it important for the world to see how diverse and sophisticated Hawaii is. I am having a problem though with RealAudio. I can only download files (and paly them), they won't play in real time. Pixie Net doesn't seem to help. Any ideas? Once again great job on your web site! Mahalo JWG (p.s.

Hi Rabbett

This is great .I've been on the net for about 5 months and this is what I've been looking for. I was at Hickam AFB last year and was able to enjoy some good hawaian music on FM but that doesn't do you any good stateside.

I used to sit at the edge of Pearl Harbor just behind the Officers Club and watch the sunset. I'm looking forward to getting back to the Hale Koa Hotel. I found the place to retire when I was there.

The shows are great and the music superb. Keep it tradition al. I'll be listening hope to meet you when i return.

Rabbett,

Listening to Gabby Pahinui while typing this. Makes a Kailua boy really homesick. My family still lives in the Grove off Oneawa Street. I couldn't believe it when I saw Kailua on the tag. When you talked about the moon coming up over Lanikai, I recall with fond memories the moon and sun rises I've experienced at Kailua Beach. Our family moved to Kailua in 1948 from Honolulu and I lived there until I went to college in 1962. Much Aloha for the place in this heart. Was last there last summer and this past Christmas. We're planning to go over again soon. I would like to meet you when we get home. We have printing and book customers on Oahu, so our trips are work and pleasure. Mahalo. Keep up the good work.

Aloha

Hi Rabbet

I wanted to thank you. This is really cool. I was working on a flower farm at Hana a couple of years ago and have missed the music ever since I went mainland again. Now I'm in Austin Texas studying African History.

I especially like your juke box 'cause I can listen while I read about archaeology in Kenya.

I have to wonder: Do you get paid for this in some way! It's so awesome--I didn't think things like this were free.

Dear Rabbett,

Mahalo nui loa for starting something great like this! I moved to Japan on business, so I have been listening to your programs here in Japan. Although the sound quality is not so good, I can still understand what you are saying well. In fact, compared to the World Radio Network on Internet, your files sound a lot better. I hope you will continue to bring us the lastest of the land I love. Is it possible, by the way, for you to get some local news from local newspapers and TV news broadcats? This way, you can have a wider coverage of current affairs in Hawaii.

Yours sincerely,

Aki Shimura

Hi,Rabbitt.I just discovered RealAudio and the wonderful show.What a joy.My wife and I love HA,esp Kauai so this is going to bring a lot of pleasure and memories.I'm a long time reggae collector and love Jawaiin music so the Dance Party tape is great.The only downside is that the sound quality is quite poor-its gurggled and fuzzy.Perhaps there's something I need to adjust on the player but I can't tell what.Any ideas? If it can't be fixed,any chance of getting a tape of the shows? Perhaps we could trade (I have a very large collection of reggae and world beat) or perhaps I could look for something you have trouble finding in HA (I live in Berkeley,CA).Or of course I'd be happy to send you tapes and mailing envelopes or simply reimburse you for your trouble.I realize none of this may be possible (like you have nothing better to do that to make tapes for annonymous fans) but let me know.In any case, this is the discovery of the month.

The Labor Day show was great! I really enjoyed the selection of local music. I'll be back for more of that.

The sound quality was about a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10. I'm running a 386 DX40 w/8Mb of RAM. I'm using a SoundBlaster card. I found that turning the volume down on the speakers (hardware) and turning the volume up with Real Audio (software) iimproved the quality greatly. The music suffers the most.

Until next time. Thanks for the treat!

Can you play some Teresa Bright. I have her Painted Traditions tape and play it all the time. Hawian Music selection here in the Bay area is minimal.

I'll check in from time to time.

ps the new Real Audio is much improved over the first version, doesn't pop. Still needs a way to go compete with FM but is as good as AM

To you and all your friends that helped put together this H4, hotspots, IRH... mahalo. I downloaded the RealAudio and played the jukebox. Now I know how much I lost touch of the Islands. Noticed a lot of the music has raggae rythm...wow. But the traditional hawaiian music brought chills and sweet memories back.

I've only took a couple of steps in your works. I'm going to have fun all night long. Thanks!!!

Well, anyway nice site.

Oh and when you play the realaudio clips with a 14.4 are you supposed to get breaks in the sounds like every 4 secs? and also after about 45 secs into all the audios i listen to it gives me a messagew saying bad data or something for the last 30 secs? oh well agan nice site.

Yo, Rabbett --

It's always a kick to surf on into H4 and see what new stuff you have put up to stir traces of tradwind and scent of plumaria in my psyche.

Just returned from visiting your Talking Error page. My boy, I have always suspected you aren't wrapped all that tight, but this removes all doubt!

Our visit to Kaanapali and Princeville the first part of July was a true delight, but alas we are now back in central Ahia (that's "Ohio" to the uninitiated) and counting days (too danged many of them) until we can head back in your direction. This time my brother came out with us to our timeshare so we got to play tourhost a bit on our beloved North Shore of Kauai. The highlight had to be the Captain Zodiac trip down the Na Pali -- it had been 10 years since our first one, which is MUCH too long. The weather cooperated and showed off the fantastic cliffs and valleys to their best advantage, but for us the pinacle of the trip was the dolphins.

Dolphins may not be a big deal to you Islanders, but for us Midwesterners whose only saltwater within hundreds of miles is the stuff Grandma puts her teeth in at night, this was the height of excitement. We managed to run into a number of pods of spinner dolphins, and they put on quite a show, demonstrating where they got their name. Ten years ago, we never saw a one. T'was fantastic.

Got a handful of pix from the trip worthy of sending to you, if I ever manage to get them scanned (as well as the usual bunch of birdcage liners).

Anyhoo -- just wanted say mahalo again for all the work and dedication you put into H4. It is one of my faves, and a prominent link on my GETAWAYS page .

Aloha from that Makai Guy,

Doug

Hi There !

Just discovered our pages today and it reminded me of my never forgetful time in Hawai'i, Dec'93-Jan'94. It's the one place I've been to that I would really like to return to. Possibly for my 'old days' in about 25 years.

But, I as I'm in the office now, I don't have much time to surf through your pages and I was wondering if it's possible that you will maybe have B&B's (Bed & Breakfast)listed for folks like me who have a homesickness for your kind of hospitality and beauty? I'm planning to go back, and it would be great if something like this would be possible. But, there's time. My schedule doesn't allow me to return to your beautiful land until 12-18 months from now as I wish to take my wife there for the 'time after the wedding'.

I really enjoyed staying at Tony's Place in Lahaina on Maui and visiting Steve Stills' pub (even lucky enough to hear him play there)! But this is only one of my memories. Just being lost in the Grand Canyon of the Pacific on Kauai a few days was such a great experience and being on the Napali coast. I could go on...

I will keep checking out your pages to keep me going!!!

Hawai'i is the best place I've been to on this planet!!!

Keep it beautiful!!

Mahalo!

Whoa! Your site is definitely my favorite use or RealAudio to date. The sound quality is quite acceptable (compared to other music I've heard) and the selections were outstanding.

Anyway, great site! I'm sure I will visit it often just to have that music playing in the background.

It sounds great! I'd just gone to the Virtual Vacation & listened to Ko'olau; your newer recordings sounded even clearer (Gabby was a bit not as clear but I've heard so much about him even a muddy recording is better than none.) I have that CD of Cyril's and love that particular piece and felt the reception I got here in Boston didn't do it mis-service. I wonder if I got better quality given that it's 11 - midnight here. One half hour seems reasonable; the RealAudio player let me move up when I decided I didn't want to listen to the complete sound clip all at once. Although it eventually refused to respond to any changes: volume, position, or whatever - I got a somewhat misleading message about it: Server not responding to requests for your document.

I'd clipped http://www.cyber-hawaii.com/audio/thebigsh.ram> from something, I think a URL line that had some other stuff jammed in it; so I didn't have any visual to go with the audio (the Virtual Vacation screen stayed on my screen). Keep that music coming; let me hear the top 10 or especially the top 10 that are somewhat traditional;

Eh, howzit Rabbett! By way of intro, my name is Shawn B. Quick (disregard Sara's name, I'm borrowing her computer). I'm a former 7-yr resident of Hawaii now living in the Bay Area, working at Stanford University. Found your pages while surfing and I'm so excited about it! Talk about chicken skin all ovah! I'm a UH grad (both BA and MSW) and I miss Hawaiian music and dance, and just the general cul- ture so much. So I'm really grateful that you are doing this web site -- I can see that I'll probably spend a great deal of time here every day just checking in, and I love your link to Hawaiian Radio and their sites.

Have you any information on Hawaiian cultural events here in the Bay Area? I know there's a network of ex- patriate locals living out here (I work with several), and I know Hawaiian musicians come out here every so often, but I'd like to know in advance and not by accident at the last moment when local musicians will be gigging in SF or when there's a local hula competition, etc. Do you have a link or a "correspondent" out here in the Bay Area? If not, it might be something to consider -- there's so many of us out here who adore everything Hawaiian. I'm happy to help you in this endeavor any way I can, so long as I have the right tools and the information of course.

Please let me know how I can contribute in this way or any other.

I so enjoy playing and re-playing the songs (.au) files you posted on your Hotspots Web page. The .au files work well with the audio card in my Sun Sparcstation-10. Unfortunately, the playback is only mono, but I guess that's o.k., as your songs are mono versions.

Can you post more songs to your Web page like "Hualalai" by Makaha Sons? They are one of my favorite groups, and I like their "choral" style of singing. Also, can you post Bros Caz songs, or are they restrictive about that? Also, you might post some nature sounds, like different birds (with a picture), as well as ocean sounds. Would make us expatriates feel less homesick...

Thanks again for creating the Sounds of Hawaii Web-page!

Sorry, I was speecless, bra! Living on the mainland (California), we don't get much Hawaii music. Lately, I've been missing Hawaiian songs too much. Your broadcast was the first thing I heard with RealAudio and I was blown away. I love the format and every song. One thing I miss that you can put in the show is local talk--just one or two locals talking Pidgin about anything. It would be so nice to hear Pidgin all way from the mainland.

I really appreciate all the interesting items available on the H4. I'm particularly motivated to add my 2 cents since I took advantage of the opportunity to greet and tour the Hokule'a as it arrived in Santa Barbara on 8 Jul 95. A good number of kamaainas at heart were there, and it's not easy to come across them everyday on the mainland. It would be great if the H4 could list Hawaiian entertainer schedules on the mainland. I've seen Kapena, Cazimero Bros. and Moe Keale in the LA area, and ads for Israel K in Las Vegas, but these are too few and far between.

I stumbled on your page by searching for hula. Last month I tried the same thing, but your site never came up. Boy am I glad I tried again!

Your coverage on the Merrie Monarch and other hula festivals, as well as the music is truly FANTASTIC!!! I studied the hula for 4 years, including a few seminars with Chinky Mahoe. I was heavily involved in my halau, until time constraints forced me to stop. After seeing your pictures and hearing the music, I just want to go back!

Keep up the great work! I hope you'll have similar coverage of the 1995 Keiki Hula.

By the way, your large GIFs should be JPEGs to keep the file size small because my PC version of Netscape 1.2b does not seem to want to load the large GIFs (referring to the pictures that come up when I click on the smaller picture).

I read about the RealAudio software awhile back but I never bothered to actually try it...till tonight. It's neat! I like having the news and sports available on demand and the response time is very quick. It's much quicker and the quality is better than what I though it would be (I just got a GV Platinum 28.8 modem, so that may be why it's faster).

Rabbett,

Thanks for the Radio Hawai'i info, but I'm running on a Sun Sparc LX, too bad most of the fun stuffs for the Mac and Windows.

Anyway, was thinking that what hawaii really needs is a better spy cam, not like the lame "Hawaiian Eye" which justs overlooks the harbor, but a beach cam instead (Sunset or Waimea, perhaps?). Even the manoa cam gets boring after awhile (it's always cloudy anyway, but if you lucky, you just might see a rainbow).

Hmm...maybe people don't want cams out there, so that people don't all rush that particular beach whenever a swell rolls in. Well, I guess I'll have to just wait until those areas become wired.

Hi...

You have no idea how welcome your RealAudio programs are to me. I just last Friday got Netscape, and Real Audio up and running under my NetCruiser front end thing, and immediately went looking for things to hear on Real Audio. I had already been to several Hawai'i pages, and found yours this past weekend.

Even with the poor audio, the vocal stuff is quite acceptable... the music seems to be rougher, in that less produced stuff, perhaps with less bass in it, seems to work the best... not unlike the early days of audio when the sound was thin and tinny and way low fi. The novelty of this will eventually wear off, but for now I am totally stoked!!!

When I was in Honolulu in 1982, on vacation, I got hooked on KCCN-AM and their traditional Hawaiian music. I didn't find any FM stations then doing Hawaiian music, although I know now about KCCN-FM, and Radio Free Hawai'i; and something called Jahawaiian music. I am a great fan of Gabby and the other more traditional type Hawaiian artists you play... I bought several records while on vacation, and played them for years on my own show on KALX-FM in Berkeley, CA. I still do a show there, but it is limited now to demo tapes and cassette-only releases... If you happen to know of any groups/solo acts at the demo or cassette-only level who might want to send a tape to me, see the bottom of this for my address.

Please continue to do show-length stuff, as well as provide CD catalog numbers with the titles/artists info, so we can perhaps order the music here...not to mention making the ASCAP/BMI types happy!! I definately like the show format... please keep the shows available for several weeks even as you do new ones, so people who gradually hear about this can check them out. By the way, I happened to see the H.Advertiser today at a newsstand, and saw the article on the Nation Of Hawai'i and so got a charge from hearing you refer to it in the show! Please keep up the mix of music *and* local news and flavor... and I like the idea of having guests and maybe even doing some talk shows with people in the news. I'd especially like to hear from the people involved with the sovereignty movement, and from people on the other side. It's hard to really know from here just how big a thing it is...

BTW, your sports report for today (Monday) got as far as buffering down from 12 to 0 in the player, but no sound ever came out... I rechecked the one from last Friday and it still worked fine... also I find that the sound seems to come over with less dropouts etc, if you minimize as many things as possible and don't even move the mouse! Just sit back and listen! Every time I did things, or opened up windows or tried to adjust controls on the sound card on-screen controls, I started losing a lot of bits... the sound continued but got quite garbled... as soon as I closed things down and left it all alone, things went back to a very minimal loss of bits, according to the statistics dropdown thing on the raplayer unit.

Hey... it's waaaay past my bedtime! I gotta go now, but again thanks for all you're doing and don't stop!!!!!

Rabbett,

here in denver, it's hard to find hawaiian music, hows about broadcasting your radio program over the net? I'm sure there's all kinds of legal issues to consider, but a real-time (or near real-time) broadcast would be good especially at work. Although I haven't read up on all the technical stuff, I know that other net radio stations will be popping up soon. Tanks, eh, for putting music samples on your web page.

Mahalos,

Aloha and Mahalo!

You've done what I have only thought about. I don't have access to the WWW today now I have a reason. Too bad it's going to mean having to sink a bunch of bucks into new hardware to get the up grade so that I can get more than a text feed.

For a long time, here on the Mainland, I've missed the sounds of Hawaiian music. My professional background is in the media (but not radio), still I was interested in what it would take to get Hawaiian music on the air. There are, ofcourse, a few scattered programs around the US, but by no means anything that could support itself.

The WWW is a natural choice. I've only recently learned of "RealAudio" and was lead to understand that it's in a beta phase. Is this true?

In the past, I've considered using cable television to deliver the high quality audio from a centralized satellite feed, but dealing with the individual cable systems is a major undertaking. I do have experience in cable TV: a number of years ago, a handful of us put together a company that is now called "E! Entertainment Television".

I believe that cable still offers a solution for bandwith and speed of transmissions issues for the growth of the Internet and especially for "multimedia" applications. The cable industry, however, still has a long way to go in this area.

I'm extremely interested is your success, and would welcome the chance to exchange ideas.

Best of luck!!!

Rabbett,

Thanks for your reply to my entry.

I must commend you by saying that the H4 does look like a labor of love. I have lots of bookmarks to Hawaii pages, but yours makes me feel more like I'm really there. Yours is like reading the local newspaper and hanging out at the local restaurants, whereas "Planet Hawaii" is like reading a travel brochure and going to the Don Ho show! (It's just NOT the SAME!) I hope you make lots of bucks with the H4 (or at least enough to quit that yucky day job!), but don't let it get too slick and commercialized, ok?! P.S. I was at the Windham Hill page (www.windham.com) the other day, and I noticed that they've finally included some of the Dancing Cat CD's (the Slack Key Guitar Series, produced by George Winston, I think.) I'm working on my collection of Hawaiian CDs, and these are pretty good. BTW, do you know anything about the group "Hapa"? We got their (excellent) CD at the KPOA music shop in Maui last year, and were wondering if they are still around?

With musicians like Aunty Genoa, Teresa Bright, Robi Kahakalau, Loyal Garner, Nohelani Cypriano, Haunani Apoliona, Ku'uipo Kumukahi, Leahi, Na Leo Pilimehana, Kaleo O Kalani, and others, there ought to be a track or two sufficiently compelling to add....

Tried your audio files on http://www.hotspotshawaii.com this a.m. Sounds great! I just have a little 6 inch mono speaker on my Sun workstation, so can't evaluate the sound completely. But the quality is remarkably good.

Suggestions: 1) When you have time, you might want to encode the .au files using the Unix "compress" command, for those of us who have Unix systems. You could offer two versions - compressed and uncompressed.

2) You might want to include other musics, such as Japanese flute and strings, Tahitian and Samoan music, etc., which has contributed to Hawaii's diverse cultural mosaic.

Thanks again for sharing your Web page with us!

Hi:

I was in Hawaii from '71-'74 - married a local girl and developed an enduring love for Hawaiian music and culture. I still have all my Gabby Pahinui/Hui Ohana/Sunday Manoa etc records and like to update whenever I can. We get back about every 2-3 years. I just discovered the Hawaii Home Page and am still trying (not with much success) to download some of the RealAudio music files.

I'd like to know if Dr Bob Teichman from the hospital on Kauai is WWW connected?

Love your Web pages! Spent a whole hour exploring this afternoon... However, when I tried to play the 500+KB files of Hawaiian music, nit just came out as correlated noise. Perhaps we do not have the proper decompression routine. I think "XMosaic" was treating the files as ".au" files, instead of compressed audio. Does Netscape incorporate the compression method you use? If not, where can we (at Univ. Florida CIS Dept.) get a public-domain copy of your com- pression and decompression routines?

Thank you, and keep Web-ing!

I just wanted to say thanks to your site for being on the internet. My wife and I have thoroghly enjoyed all the local stuff available on your WWW server. I have known about H4 for a few months and it has become a part of my top ten list of sites to visit on the net. I believe it is the best site in Hawaii. My wife is Hawaiian. I am Samoan. She has been living away from Hawaii for about 12 years and it's been nice to get a taste of what is going on in Hawaii even though we visit every so often. Your pictures were great and especially the ones from Melvin AhChing. When I showed my wife she was thrilled since Mel was a class mate of hers at Honokaa high school. Because of your service I've been able to communicate with Mel through email. Isn't the internet great? By the way I am not able to get on to your server today.

Just wanted to say hi from the mainland. I was fortunate to have visited Hawaii for the first time in my life (55)last February. I was the guest of a Hawaiian native. I also got to meet and visit with some of my relatives whom I never knew existed. My grandfather was born in Hakalau. He was one of many children. Some of whom still live in varied places in Hawaii.

I love the islands and the culture there. I hope to learn more about the culture and the many relatives still living there. I hope too to get to come back.

The things that struck me the most, besides the culture were, the color, and the clean air and clear skies.

I had the ocassion to walk in downtowwn Seattle last week and compared it to walking in downtown Honolulu -- give me Honolulu ANY day!

Thanks for the opportunity to visit via the InterNet.

Aloha,

I have been looking through your home page and found a lot of great stuff! I am heading to the Islands the first week of April for a week of vacation and was interested in getting out for a paddle while I am there. I am currently involved in outrigger paddling in California and would love to swap for cruise in a canoe in your waters. If you know where I might go for information on clubs in Waikiki, it would be most helpful. I went to Western Samoa last year for the IPCF World Sprints and met a number of paddlers from local clubs in Oahu, and even visited the sight along the canal on the way back.

We have also been into hula for the last couple of years and had a crab feed where we all performed, about a week and a half ago.

The name of our club is Kilohana, in Redwood City, CA.

What so you know about affordable golf on Oahu?

Again, I love all the information and pics in H-4!

Hi, I was born and raised in Hawaii and love my home very much still. When my boyfriend introduced me to Internet, I was eager to seek out current information from my home town of Kaneohe, Oahu. I love what you have here. There is so much to access. It seems even more so that when I was living there. Mostly because everything is at the touch of my fingertips.

I have visited Hawai'i twice. Been to 4 of the islands. Saw museums, history, took a tour with a (at least part) Hawai'ian. During the tour we picked up fruit along the road. This fruit became our lunch that we ate at an old house belonging to one of his uncles. He seemed to have uncles everywhere. Anyway, I would like to learn more of the history and culture and language of the Hawai'ians.

Much Aloha to you all for giving us mainlanders this Web site.

I always knew I could get "there" from here...

I am in heaven, Mahalo

...and yes.. I want Hawaiian music! I grew up with Hawaiian culture and music.. I have a vast collection and have been trying to find a way to see what's new over there. Would appreciate any and all music news. Anything new from Peter Moon band?

Hey guys..

I have been checking out your page for the past couple of days now. I really was surprised when I stumbled across this advertisement on this advertising tree thing on this one Japanese server that I was checking out. I am really glad to see a home page coming out of Hawaii besides the one from Honolulu Commmunity College. I think one thing that i would really love to see is a section on recipies. Being a college student who has traveled many long miles from his home town in Kaneohe, I really miss local cuisine.. If I could get my hands on recipies, not necessarily hawaii stuff, but I guess anything (since WEB sites are open to the world), that would be of incredible value to me.. Also all the masses of people who also may happen to stumble across this home page the same way I did.. Other than that, I think this H-4 page is AWESOME...

Just a note from up North, St. John's NF Canada.

I have travelled to Hawaii six times now and will be returning to the islands in May. I must admit that I miss the sun and fun of the beach and warm days and nights. The H-4 is the closest contact to Hawaii for me and that while it is not quite the same as being there in person its the next best thing.

You have some of the best in the world out there and we hope to try it soon.

Aloha from Alabama! I've been to the Islands Twice and I'm looking forward to returning again. I am always telling people that they haven't seen anything untill they've seen Hawaii. I enjoy your H-4 it's about as close as being in Hawaii while in Alabama. Keep posting those photos for those of us who can't just look outside and see Paradise! Thanks Again!

Two things that you might think about adding to your General Store:

1. Crack seed

I live in No. CA, so my current crack seed supply is okay. But when I lived in the midwest, I would have given my left arm, leg, whatever, for a way to easily get crack seed.

2. Florist

There are times when I still would like to get a haku or a maile lei for special occasions, but it's a hassle.

Hope you do well.

Loved it!! Doesn't that tell it like it is!! Thanks for brightening up my day!!

Glad to see the Hawaii page.

I studied ka olelo when I used to commute on the Long Island Railroad to NYC in my 20s to keep from going nuts.

I have a friend in Honolulu that put me up for a month a few years ago. I went around to the old sites of Hawaiian culture sketching them and taking stereo photos.

I also like to wind surf but have not yet taken on big waves.

So, I am interested in seen more hawaiian culture, archeological sites, wind surfing chat and pictures, and hawaiian language chat.

The pages get here a little slowly. Maybe they should be smaller, or maybe the lines are slow.

Mahalo nui for the hawaii page.

Hey Rabbett we know what your doing and thats all that matters,is it no surprise that the media is controlled by a few and are afraid of changes for fear that people can and will think for themselves???

Beings I am part of the big family of "aloha" by marriage, it is wonderful to see Hawaii up and running WWWsites such as yours. Now when we get home sick for the beauty of the islands, we can "click" into your site. By the way when will you be delivering plate lunches?? Zippzks and the like. I have manage to travel faster in you WWWsite than ever on H1,H2, or H3. Best wiches for continued success and warm Aloha. PS Our family are from Palolo valley Oahau.

Hello,

My partner and myself will be coming to Maui to attend a conference in Wailea. The dates are April 15th - 22nd. We're looking for something that has cooking facilities and a little removed from the giant condo scene. Any suggestions?

BTW: I really like your home pages. It looks like you have done an awful lot of work in designing an attractive look. I found you in the Netscape "What's New" section. We're doing similar work here in Portland, Oregon. Our company is called WebWorks.I'll keep your name on my hotlist and folow the updates.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Claire

We appreciate your work! I've dropped by several times from here in England. We've been in Hawaii a couple of times including last May for the Pac-Rim safety conference (also got lousy state support by the way) which was organised by our friend Pat Conroy of King & Neel Inc. Anyway, have a good one - the world's watching !!

Giga cried when she read the notes from Waimanalo.

Nice work, keep it up!

We've been to Maui twice and are in love with it. We are enjoying a visit via H4 to get a perspective that is hidden from tourists, altho we have seen beach people on Maui.

Robert, great going in getting your site on the air. I am surfing from the Northern California area and wish yu the best. I'll be in Hilo starting the 12th of Feb. for 60 days or more and may stay for good. Check out Http://www.vegas.com there are some pretty fast computer people on that net with some great ideas along the lines that you want to go with. Check it out!

Hi!

Just read your home page and decided you offer you best wishes.

I'm located in Newfoundland (rhymes with 'understand', and not your state of Maryland, please note ...) in Canada. I've just come in from an hour of shovelling snow and now I am thawing out. It is a beautiful sunny day, but really 'crisp'. Frankly, Hawaii sound good right now ...

We are an island too, but that's about all we have in common. Newfoundland is the eastern-most point in North America, just a hop, skip and a jump from Ireland where most of our ancestors came from. We'll be celebrating the 500th anniversary of our discovery by the Italian explorer John Cabot (anglicized version of his name) in 1997.

Happy days and good health to you!

*********************************************

Aloha and Mahalo for the effort you have put forth on this Internet. I am glad to see that I can now revisit the islands via computer. I have not been there for the last two years and I miss it a great deal. After living in the islands for three years I became vey accustomed to the life-style and the people. So thank you again for the opportunity to see the island again.
