And for those who aren't really 'in" to oldies, I'm sure there are some "moderns", as well

It isn't up yet, I have been checking periodically today! I guess technically, it is still Wednesday.

It is up, and quite a few "moderns" in the list. Most have pictures with them and a link to the HIPS gallery or AIS wiki for more information. My list is growing again.
