BL> Yair... but it would know I was only bluffing. TV sets aren't

Hi Dieter,
           thank you for explaining this is such detail  :-)

  So far as TVs are concerned, I am God. I created the evil bastards,
and they are respectful in my presencce (which is more than I can say
for AV_Tech).

 DM> Computers, on the other hand, are another technological era
 DM> more recent than TV's, and since that means that you are
 DM> considerable more older than the current generation of
 DM> computers, the computers treat you with scorn and contempt,
 DM> rather like a teenager.

  And my arthritic little fingers have trouble with the keyboard, too.
Teenagers used to treat me with contempt until I started carrying a
big stick and crying out: "Get out of the way, you teeny-bopper
bastards. I know what you're up to!" and things like that. Now they
move aside with proper deference.

 DM> Teenagers, however, don't have a problem with the older
 DM> technology TV's because the manufacturers build in lots of
 DM> little CPU's & micro controllers, and these, being close
 DM> cousins to the PC, have respect for your younger generation.

  But they get pimples and suffer permanent erections... something I
can't even remember nowadays.

Regards,
Bob
