Greetings from Australia. Impressive. I haven't seen the expression "dinks" for a while. A one stage int the 80's we liked to think of ourselves as "Finks" which stood for "Five infants and no kash". Have a good time with the Forum.

Hi Eddy and thanks for popping in here to the introductions. I know you're not that new but still nice to say hi to those who don't know you yet.

And yes, the mac thing is a bonus. There's quite a number of us here.

Default analog v. virtual reality?

I am of a mind that our universe is entirely analogue ... possibly from an exotic fractal like generator, but with the edges smoothed out by its analogue nature.

Ya can't reproduce Buddy Holly with a digital CD player of less than 24 bit resolution = too much content ...
