The Krooborg just demanded that it be made Ethics Commissioner for Usenet's
audio groups. (I'm not going to reproduce the post here. You'll have to dig
through the past 24 hours of Kroo-droppings on RAO.)

Speaking of which, what's the current toxicity level on RAO? Things were
pretty clean for a while, but I've been noticing a persistant but rising
stench.


Yes, some weak-willed individuals have resumed replying to Mr. ****'s turds.

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*.

If

me in a broad 'Ameriken' accent and said "No, it is a Mer-Lot."


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. She got blacklisted
from a very posh club in Chelsea, when the waiter asked,
"shall I add some water?" She took a sip and replied,
"I think you might have done that already!"

The chap is a musicologist and teacher (guitar)
We discussed amongst other things the importance of key
signatures not only to the players (no one wants their part

These are exactly the fine philsophical points of music which
blossom after a glass or two of Merlot.

Mmmmmmm............... perhaps I would be better off discussing "micing"

LOL. 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:-)

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 :-).

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

That is, until one late night when you've misplaced your glasses you allow
Micro$oft's Genuine Advantage so-called 'update' download onto your machine
& then up comes a message that says that the software isn't genuine & the
screen changes to black!

Great stuff. But a $225.00 purchase of a genuine Micro$soft WinXP will
alleviate the problem, and after all, everyone should own at least one
genuine copy.

Never mind folks as Msoft will not be shipping a news reader with
Windows 7, nobody will know Usenet exists anyway after that.


Do believe after the fiasco of Vista that anyone will actually go to
the next M$ operating system?


Well it is free if you know where to look


What service pack number is it up to already? And how many dodgy drivers
are included :-))


so far proving not to need them

It will take a lot to get me away from XP Pro ;-)


it's ok for a home o/s I guess
maybe you should try a real o/s from one of the unix areas ?


Why? 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.

That is, until one late night when you've misplaced your glasses you allow
Micro$oft's Genuine Advantage so-called 'update' download onto your machine
& then up comes a message that says that the software isn't genuine & the
screen changes to black!

Great stuff. But a $225.00 purchase of a genuine Micro$soft WinXP will
alleviate the problem, and after all, everyone should own at least one
genuine copy.

He's talking about a free beta which self-destructs in August. 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.

Anybody too lazy to download Thunderbird (for free) deserves everything
that they get.

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!

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.
