Hi EuroTribbers
I'm not exactly a frequent poster here, but always enjoyed reading the site. A long time ago someone posted a diary about Sudoku, and for a while I got quite hooked on the little number puzzle by following a link to an online Sudoku Site in the comments.
That's why I thought this should be the first place to post a link to my own new Sudoku Challenge.

Last year the BBC's Radio 3 made headlines when they offered up Beethoven's nine symphonies for download as MP3's. The offer was met with a tremendous response: more than a million downloads was registered during the month the experiment lasted.
Now the Danish equivalent of BBC, Danmarks Radio, has launched a similar experiment as part of the celebrations of Mozart's 250th anniversary. During the next month, nine of Mozart's 41 symphonies will be offered for download in recordings by the Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra as high quality MP3 files (256 kbps). It is even possible to subscribe to the downloads as a podcast, and automatically get the symphonies as they are made available.
