Sorry Wally - I was only winding Ian up!

I thought as much, but had to take the chance that you weren't. ;-)

Quite right too - you get nowhere in this world just sitting in a corner
just wishin' and hopin'.....


WAAAGH!!

I've just remembered I had that song on a VCR tape as the opening to a film
(utterly and completely delightful - 'sung' by a bunch of girls in wedding
attire) and I've just got rid of all the VCR stuff!!! (Believe me, once you
get into DVD recording you can't throw VCR tapes far enough!) That'll bloody
teach me for winding people up!

:-(

Anybody know what that film was? - The song is 'Wishin' and Hopin' by Bert
Bacarach of course.....

I take it you mean avoid Linux at all costs? Good advice..........

Now why would that be good advice?

Because it's used exclusively by sad lefty geeks.................

Haven't you figured out how to use it yet?

I use IBM AIX every day, so yeah, Linesux ain't exactly a challenge.

but only because I havent got a DVDRW at all (Im waiting until 8x

You might as well wait until dual-layer is out (unless that's what you
meant).

Dual layer, yes.

and my trusty plextor 12x CDRW drive is starting to act like its
wearing a
brown sweater and slippers (ie. its not exactly 12x anymore)

Oops, er, what colour slippers exactly?

grey. with that square pattern.

The biggest mistake made in this country is thinking that it takes as
long for a far eastern country to get its act together as does over
here....

remember that company is half goldstar though.

in any case, I've had the misfortune of seeing a fair number of LG
drives - and I didnt like any of them.

Oy! I resemble that remark! I've got a Linux box here, and I only
fit two of those criteria :-)

Admittedly, it only runs a firewall, NAT and DHCP services, it has no
monitor, no keyboard and no mouse, and I haven't actually touched it for
about two years, but I do have one running.

If you think that's funny, next time you get on a plane remember that
National Air Traffic Services are still keeping air traffic on target
using PDP 11s at West Drayton.

That's OK then. (close...!!)

Oh dear, that's just a little *British* isn't it?

Consider this by way of illustration: Soishiro Honda started off making
piston rings virtually by hand and strapping cement mixer engines to
bicycles. Now read the following closely (taken from Google)......

"Welcome to LG, one of the largest Korean companies. LG is Global leader in
chemicals, electronics, telecommunications, distribution, and finance. LG
Web ...
Description: A $73 billion business group with 120000 employees in 120
countries. Active in chemicals, electronics,..."

....... and join up the dots. Let the figures sink in and think about what
you have just said.....



in any case, I've had the misfortune of seeing a fair number of LG
drives - and I didnt like any of them.


No? OK, take a look at the US site (always look at the US and Japanese
versions of a multinational's websites to get an up-to-date picture of
what's going on) and see if they have anything to tempt you:

http://us.lge.com/products/models/cd...ves_index.html

nothing there takes your fancy? (I am using 2 different LG drives atm and
they both work perfectly fine.) While you're there, also go and take a look
at the monitor page:

http://us.lge.com/products/models/monitors_index.html

I was in the local computer shop the other day and they have an LG monitor
on the go - I thought it was absolutely stunning!

I'm not an LG employee and won't necessarily buy another LG product in my
life, but I'm alway very keen to try and balance up some the more ridiculous
prejudices that exist in this group......

Yeah. But which one has "beneficial consequences", and in what
circumstances?

For starters, .wav files are not compressed..............

The comma after" wav," makes a difference to the meaning... :-)
