Que?  I thought that engineer was an English term for a train-driver, not
American.  Unlike Rod, I neither speak nor spell American at all.  ;-)

Two pertinent questions immediately come to mind:  (1) Was Casey Jones a
real person, and (2) did they really spell it with a "K" ??

BTW, I've heard no howls of protest to date, so can I safely assume that
your HiFi Akai is still functioning after I got amongst it while I was in
Sydney in June ??  If so, will wonders never cease!  ;-)

Regards, Bill
