On a completely unrelated note: For my answering machine, I want to do something like George's from Seinfeld...how would I go about doing something like that? I'll sing it myself, but I don't know where I can snag the background music

I've heard a lot of good things about Audacity (http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/8052), but I've never used it, so I can't recommend it from experience. It's freeware, so this could be a good choice.


If that doesn't work, I know GarageBand will:

Well you can get iLife '04 (with GarageBand 1.0) for about $3-5 on eBay (http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&from=R10&catref=C6&satitle=ilife+04&sacat=3792%26catref%3DC6&bs=Search&fsop=1%26fsoo%3D1&coaction=compare&copagenum=1&coentrypage=search&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D2&sadis=200&fpos=43023&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=)
iLife '05 (with GarageBand 2.0) is going for around $10-15 on eBay (http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&from=R10&catref=C12&satitle=ilife+05&sacat=3792%26catref%3DC6&bs=Search&fsop=1%26fsoo%3D1&coaction=compare&copagenum=1&coentrypage=search&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D2&sadis=200&fpos=43023&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=)
iLife '06 (with GarageBand 3.0) is $79 from Apple.com (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wo/0.RSLID?mco=86C20573&nplm=MA166Z%2FA) ($59 for students (http://store.apple.com/1-800-780-5009/WebObjects/EducationIndividual?type=higherEd&promo=StudentUnion&cid=EDU-AOSA10000008186))

Well I have a video clip of it, I just don't know how I can remove the vocals/laugh track from the back. Do you know where that tune came from?
