My recent discussion with some of the lesser members of the Middiot Posse related to cowardice, not ethics. Of course as Senior Coward of the Middiot Posse, you would like to obfuscate that fact. Middiot, I wonder why you are still soldiering on after all these years? At this point, you've rendered RAO totally useless for any reasonable purpose at all. It appears that Bill Gates is going to render all of Usenet useless with the next release of Windows. You've put forth all these years of effort, and what you are left with is *nothing*. |

Ah that's Mer-Lot as in Job-Lot :-) with ice and lemon, and one of those plastic imitation ice-cubes that lights up when in liquid? I once had a girlfriend who was partial to a single malt now and again. She sometimes politely refused it when the barman put ice in the glass without asking her first.

I have recently taken up the tenor saxophone. My wife, who knows I am a great Ellington fan, bought me a small carved figurine of a cat playing a sax. She gave it to me, and said "It's Cat Anderson" So be it! It was such a lovely gesture that I did not have the heart to tell her that Cat Anderson was a trumpet player:-) Iain |

Or a "Blue glow" from a tube amp playing Duke Ellington:-) Now you're talking. I spent a marvellous evening last night playing a few albums of Charlie Parker (I am a VERY big fan - more than 50 LP's & the same number of CD's). It was truly awsome to hear the recordings from his heyday back in the late 40's & early 50's, especially one rather noisy recorded album called 'Charkie Parker Live at St. Nicks'. But it didn't alter the quality of his playing, which was simply amazing - effortless blowing & improvisation of the highest order. I was in Seventh Heaven. He truly was 'The Master' and even guys like John Coltrane, Stan Getz, Sony Rollins & Sonny Stitt were just wannabe's when compared to Bird. As the song says...."Oh what a night', but alas, no port or red wine . Those days are over for me, but I did manage a smmall tipple of JW's Blue Label on ice. Ahhhhhhhh....smooth as a baby's bottom :-). ruff |

Iain, I have just purchased a new jazz guitar as my arthritis makes playing classical guitar, with its wide neck & fingering too difficult these days. I also managed to get a nice Laney tube amp to accompany it, and, would you believe, it has the same tubes as my TT SET amp, vis 12AX7's for drivers & EL84's for finals. What a coup! The guitar was a sample from a well respected Chinese manufacturer (Electa) who, because it was their first offering, really put a great deal of effort into it. I am amazed at how well the Chinese can build ANYTHING if they REALLY want to.The neck & fingerboard are as good as those on my old Gibson 355. I really don't know how they do it, either for the price or even at all! This axe sounds wonderful; exactly like the guitars Jim Hall plays & I bought a few books on scales; Eb, Bb, etc. together with some scores, and as you suggested, hope that there's not too many of those bloody sharps in any of the tunes:-). Regards, ruff |

If XP does everything that you need, who needs the steep learning curve of (say) Linux? I have been running Linux since before v1.0 came out, have written numerous drivers and several applications and even with Wine or VMWare am still unable to run many of my Comms programs and so still require Win3.11, Win98SE and WinXP to accommodate all of it. Apart from that, because it's not in daily use, I sometimes need to look up the command line instructions if I want to change anything requiring root privileges. And that's from someone who began using the source code & compiling kernels in 1991! Linux is for people with a mainframe (Unix) background or a university degree in IT. It is not for Mr & Mrs Joe Average no matter what you say, even if the GUI's are becoming more user friendly every day. Try getting a novice to install (say) Apache, or even find & install Midnight Commander on their Linux box & you'll see what I mean. ruff |

I've been trying it, it's not too bad, a lot better than Vista, but I'll stick with my XP pro for now. Linux is OK but Photoshop doesn't run too well under it and The Gimp is a pretty poor substitute. Its also kind of difficult to develop C# apps under Linux. Keith |

... "George M. Middiot" wrote in message My Master and Commander just demanded that it be made Ethics Commissioner for Usenet's audio groups. As usual Middiot, you are very confused. My recent discussion with some of the lesser members of the Middiot Posse related to cowardice, not ethics. Of course as Senior Coward of the Middiot Posse, you would like to obfuscate that fact. Middiot, I wonder why you are still soldiering on after all these years? At this point, you've rendered RAO totally useless for any reasonable purpose at all. It appears that Bill Gates is going to render all of Usenet useless with the next release of Windows. You've put forth all these years of effort, and what you are left with is *nothing*. What a self opiniated, argumentative, ignorant, religious zealot you are Krooborg. If prizes were given out for the most unpopular person on Usenet, you'd win in a landslide. You have the personality of Ghengis Khan, the IQ of a fencepost & the bravado of Tom Cruise all rolled into one unholy mess (pun intended). You have been shown to be a total fool on numerous occassions, confusing me with TT, and sundry others as well, and your many blunders in arguments about matters audio are nothing short of legendary. I'm surprised you still have the hide to even show your face on this and other newsgroups. I guess that just indicates your level of stupidity. Why don't you do the right thing & just end your miserable life, thus pleasing hundreds if not thousands of people. It's the only way you'll ever achieve any level of. popularity. Goodbye & thanks for the fish. NOT! ruff |

Never mind folks as Msoft will not be shipping a news reader with Windows 7, nobody will know Usenet exists anyway after that. Brian Do believe after the fiasco of Vista that anyone will actually go to the next M$ operating system? Did you TT? No, not me. But I do have two daughters with Vista on their laptops that I am the IT "eggspurt" for ;-) They use it as a word processor and email/MSN device only. And because it keeps asking them for admin rights they don't get to change anything. Oh and they think it looks pretty ;-) I don't know anybody who bought it who is still using it. I have had 3 computers running XP since 2002 and none of them have even come close to falling over. Same here, 3 desktops and 2 laptops. I have even bought a new Dell (El Cheapo for work) and *paid* to roll Vista back! Why would you change? Exactly. But I do have a mate that has just gone Apple. Well that was an interesting exercise to say the least. He keeps asking me if I know how to get things working. M$ maybe a PITA but at least I know how to stop making it itch ;-) Cheers TT |

I had a very late night last night, talking music until the early hours with an old colleague I have not seen for a very long time . Ah yes, an excellent way to spend an evening, especially if some fine reds and few ports are consumed. Then the reminiscing becomes embellishing ;-) I have a bottle or two of Merlot 84, which I keep for such occasions. Great. Open one to let it breathe a little and I'll be straight over. If only it was that easy? I am very partial to Merlot. Except once when I passed through LAX and I asked for a Merlo(t) and the bar staff corrected me in a broad 'Ameriken' accent and said "No, it is a Mer-Lot." And then proceeded to get it out of the refrigerator!!!!!!! It was a sweet French wine more like raspberry cordial. So the wife drank it. That explains a lot, the only time that I tried Mer-Lot was while I was living in the US. I immediately put it on my list of experiences not to repeat. Keith |
