    OK MJ.

    I still think that you should just go to your local bar (or church, shopping plazza, etc) and sit there licking your eyebrows. Eventually, someone will start up a conversation with you.
    Then you can tell them how big your hard drive is.

    It's not the number of relays, it how dim the lights go and for how long. Extra points for a loud hum that gradually decays.

    [QUOTE=Rich-n-Texas]No need to apologize hermanv, that's the beauty of being a transplant from the north. I can deny sooooo much more this way.[QUOTE]

    Yeah, well around these parts, if you are a "transplant from the north", you are definitely due for a whoppin'!

    Don't even think about denying nothin'!

    Cute cats.

    Not to get OT, but my cat, Thelma is no longer on insulin. Changed prescription food, she lost weight and has returned to a normal lifestyle. I'm very happy about that.

    Good for you for being proactive and getting your cat treated. I get sick of stories about animal owners who think their critters are little automatons that are simply present to be petted and fed. Like our needs, physiological, psychological and all the other tionals, criiters have similar issues. I am sure Thelma has more than nine lives left, thanks to you!

    Every morning, my cats will follow me around until I pick them each up for a minute. Not until after that will they run to their bowl. And their bowl has an automatic feeder. They don't need me to feed them. They just want their morning hug first.

    The cute little buggers.

    Glad that your cat is getting better Rich. Hope it continues.

    The Cat's Meow regarding cables, the brilliantly funny and knowledgeable story at http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm, comes through with stunning clarity over the flimsiest of wires.

    Anti: This was a terriffic article to read. Very informative, frank and well written. I especially was appreciative for the comments regarding "conditioners". You will find comments I have made (among many others, alas) regarding a doohicky called the Exorcist, a product made by Gryphon Audio. This post shed a bit of light on this issue.

    Thanks!
