 BL> Yair... but it would know I was only bluffing. TV sets aren't
 BL> game to go crook in my house, but computers spit on me.
 
 DM> Probably bit of a technological era thing here - you were
 DM> prolly bought up in the TV era, and therefore the TV's have
 DM> respect for you, being of similar age.

 BL> thank you for explaining this is such detail  :-)

 S'all right !!

 BL> So far as TVs are concerned, I am God. I created the evil bastards,
 BL> and they are respectful in my presencce (which is more than I can say
 BL> for AV_Tech).
 
 Only a privileged few have seen you, and that is why they slag off at 
 you even more !!
 
 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.

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

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

 ROFL !!
 
 Dieter
