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
