Turn off the TV sound and turn on the captions. If you're really industrious, adapt a voice synthesizer to the captions. -- Paul Hovnanian mailto:Paul(a)Hovnanian.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ A limerick packs laughs anatomical Into space that is quite economical.

If you mean second harmonic, it is at 470, not >465. A tone that is part of a sound. The first partial is the fundamental. The second partial is the second harmonic (and so on). -- John

The Army didn't allow you to have a radio, electric razor or anything else to tax the electrical system in those old builings. They had a single, 120 V 20A circuit. If some idiot blew he fuse, there was no heat until base maintainence arrived to replace it. It was all part of teaching you to follow the rules. > > It took several times rocking a rack to take it over.
