as an aside, most things that are stated as "pieces of shit" by people are simply huge hear-say situations, like the one outlined above. not to throw the original poster's credibility in question (since that's not the point), but a lot of things are situated like that. "athlon's suck for audio" "non-macs suck for audio" "mini-disks all suck ass" "cd's suck" most are just conjecture or unprovable hear-say. of course, there are always situations where things truly are pieces of shit, but they usually have some sort of backing argument to flesh it out. cheers, /derek ----------- "Extremism is no vice when God's on your side" -Opus the Penguin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
