> Reinventing the wheel seems to be my curse, just because I so often have > to resort to it to get a wheel that will roll in the direction I want it to > go. I wonder what I'm doing wrong. Being curious and demanding. If you didn't want to know you wouldn't look and any old wheel would do. And you demand something to satisfy your curiosity. You ain't no redneck with ducktape. I can send you a .txt file of the manual of Spectra if you wish to look it over for more ideas. You are right, I hate windows and have no desire to "learn" how to make it do tricks. I like DOS. Not too many people even know what DOS is these days. You can get a calibrated mic from Shit Shack for about $120 or so. If you want to get into really good mics then you are talking about some REAL money. I had six mics at one time, worth about $4,000 in today's money. I only have the AKGs now. Come to think of it I do have a set of MBs still at the university. I have to get those back some day and play with them. Those are worth some good money these days are the AKGs. Last I heard the AKGs cost about $1,000 each. 25 years ago I paid about $250 each. > Well, I could be difficult and ask what difference > it makes if he can't hear the difference, My thought as well, but I was amazed that there could be a difference in sound mounting a hammer one way or the other way around. Now there is a puzzlement for you. > with a 700mhz CPU Gee, can I come and play with your toys? I can bring my 450 mhz laptop, if I get it back from Toshiba some day. > get it away from the computer fan noise, Good point that. I just hate having chords going all over the place. You should see the rat's nest I have under the desk. I'm afraid to take the computer apart because I may not remember what each wire is for. sigh Well, I won't be crawling on the floor for a little while yet. Happy New Year with lots of curiosity and lots of satisfaction. -- Newton Hunt Highland Park, NJ mailto:nhunt@jagat.com
