I have to tell you, I don't get it. 5 years down the road he may look at the symbol and wonder "whatinthehelldoesthatmean?" 5 years down the road, if he looks at "Mono" or "Stereo", he will know. And if it is just an M or just an S he'll have a very good shot at knowing. Of course for labels for ones own use, each to his own.

What did you think it was? Did you read what the person who first posted asked for? If all I wanted to do was show how clever I was I'd have told him what I thought he should do, not what I think he wanted. I notice that you are telling me what he should do. So you are trying to tell me how clever you are when you should be communicating with him.

When's the last time you needed a schematic of a scissor or a trouser? ;-) Why do they wear a pair of panties but only one bra? ;-) Cheers! Rich

But there might be people who do. I'm thinking of the labels they put on shoes and stuff. Last time I looked at some wshing instructions on something I had to do a bit of decyphering but I think it was put there assuming someone out there knew the language. But I think they still kept their trousers in one piece. > Why do they wear a pair of panties but only one bra? ;-) > They do? >:) > Cheers! > Rich > > |
