There was only one person who didn't know who he was... but in explaining what he's been up to lately to everyone there, I mentioned his wife Kathleen Beller, and it turns out this woman is a Kathleen Beller fan. How weird is that? :) The fun of my finding this out made the day a lot better than it would have been otherwise. I've been making absurd mistakes in my measurements/calculations ALL DAY LONG (you'd think I'd never used a ruler before!) However this is what inspired me to show everyone my web page in the first place, and the photo of myself holding the violin I made, in an attempt to prove to them I really do know how to measure things & put stuff together that works (LOL) I'd never have found out I was surrounded by Dolby fans otherwise. And of course, everyone is very impressed to hear all about Thomas and his latest work with Beatnik. Maybe some of them will be dropping by the list sometime! xxx Robin T __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
