Well Harvey, as Catspaw has so ably pointed out...I'M LOSING MY MARBLES! Now HERE'S a thread idea..."Is Mudcat like your marriage"? I always wondered why after about four years into wedlock, Heather ceased to see how informative, inventive and funny I was....NOW I KNOW! That must have been when I started repeating myself! (Greek Chorus in background intones "You said THIS before as well you dork!")

Oh well....another reason why Mudcat is unique: It's the only website that allows you to watch others drift into senility.

Now I DID have an underlying reason for starting this (and soliciting FRESH opinions Spaw) and it was due to spending three friggin' hours trying to find out how to use all the bells and whistles on my minidisc recorder.....from the manual. No dice. What makes it a little better is that Heather (who's NOT technologically challenged) also gave up in frustration. Perhaps if the manual was written in verse, I'd find it easier to absorb.

Actually harvey, between one and three am. still works best for me...but oh am I a wreck when I get up the next day!
