About twenty years ago a fellow who wrote DIY articles for one of the
UK audio mags, maybe his name was Andy Bland, made a joke: "Which end

people claiming to be qualified in electronics telling him which end of
the resistor is positive..

If I could reverse the resistors in my CD rewinder, I bet it would run
the other way.

Probably be cheaper just to order another CD rewinder from Australia.
Be sure to run in the wrong direction when you get it to New York.

Thanks for the suggestion. I just ordered a DVD rewinder which, they
assure me, is backwards-compatible.

"The secret of a long life is 75mg of aspirin and a glass of read wine
every day, no red meat, and plenty of exercise." -- wasn't it you who
said that, Kal, all those years ago on the Joenet?

Doubtful. Not my sentiments and, besides, while I can read
tea-leaves, there's rarely anything at the bottom of my wine glass.
