It sure could make farming a lucrative occupation again...What the fuck is going on? Why is this thing getting so bad?

Is this the best we can do?

I don't know what to say, but I feel compelled to scream.If you're talking about New Orleans, it's because the disaster event isn't
over yet. The flood is still happening.

IOf you're talking about everything else that's happening in the
world.....it's because of France.

This August, here in Melbourne, half way through the month we were told we
were headed for the warmest August ever, then suddenly in week 3 Melbourne
experienced the coldest August day since the 70's, then suddenly it went
warm again.

All this stuff is no coincedence.

People who wont even sign KYOTO, which in itself goes nowhere near far enough,
make me want to scream, for exactly the reason we're now seeing. Frustrating
as hell.

Cheers,
Kim.

Here in Australia we've totally irradicated 60Hz hum from all audio...

....our power runs at 50Hz... ;oP ...ok, sorry for wasting your time on
that one, I'll go stand in the corner... ;o)

When they are working, they sound very nice and that's why I have kept them
and babied them along, but I just can't put up with this unreliable garbage
any more. They are worthless to me if I can't depend on them.

I'm thinking about selling them *as is* with a truthful statement about
their condition, but I might also just enjoy the hell out of video taped
sledge hammering or maybe a target practice session with these as the
target. I could send the pics to Fletcher so he can put this up alongside
the dead Mackie mixer and ADAT shit on a stick memorial. I recall posts
indicating that he has no love for this product either.

I did own a couple of PA2 preamps a while back that sounded darned good. I
sold them in good condition. I hope they aren't acting like these old Indigo
series processors now.

;o(Why not hit them with a sldge hammer and THEN try and sell them on ebay?
If you include photos at least you'll get a laugh. :o)

....and it is kinda probably true really...Kim,

No disrespect to you but what a crock to conclude that a Cat5 'cane has
anything to do with GW or global warming/cooling. Weather gets more severe
because that's what heavy weather does. Records get broken, storms get
smaller and storms get bigger. High jumpers jump higher, sales records get
smashed, TV's get bigger/better, audio players get smaller, moles come and
moles go.

The recent killer tsunami in Indonesia - KYOTO just didn't get inked fast
enough and so - BOOM - nuther big ass . When folks taut this kind of
simplistic, meteorlogically illiterate conclusions, it hastens the notion
that "the simple go their way and are punished" for their ignorance. When
the weatherman, with all his pinpoint-double-doppler exclusive
super-hootie-NOAA-assisted-block-by-block-accuweather-can more accurately
predict inside a 12-hour apperature of time, the myopic scientific types
might get a nod from me. I wish it were so simple a matter as each of us
cherry picking one article from a magazine or newspaper of our choosing,
proclaiming that to be "the last word."
