Probably not much help, but <http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=200609140956019> Jim -- "Microsoft admitted its Vista operating system was a 'less good product' in what IT experts have described as the most ambitious understatement since the captain of the Titanic reported some slightly damp tablecloths." http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/

Replying with `It's not rocket science' is just a put down, and I'd rather you hadn't done so. > Say you had a box set say Eric Clapton - Crossroads, who has made > recordings with different artists as well as solo: > > > Track - Layla > Artist - Derek and the Dominoes > Album - Crossroads > Album Artist - Eric Clapton > > Track - Badge > Artist - Cream > Album - Crossroads > Album Artist - Eric Clapton > > Track - Wonderful Tonight > Artist - Eric Clapton > Album - Crossroads > Album Artist - Eric Clapton > > and so on, it's only really useful for albums for which an Artist has > used different persona. Sorry, I don't follow you. Rowland. [1] American rocket engineers seem to think that specific impulse is measured in units of time. It's really measured in units of velocity; the mistaken US version comes about from putting acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface in the equation they use for Spec. Impulse - which they then apply to rocket motors used out there in space!
