No, Fred it isn't. If you're joking, please put a ":-)" after your
statements. I apparently interpreted your message differently than
you had intended.

I didn't get upset because you mentioned (eerie music on) a "different
machine" (eerie music off). I actually didn't even get upset. I just
thought that he deserved a real answer to his question, not some
possibly confusing suggestion that he was using the wroing hardware.
Who knows what level of computer experience he had attained. I just
didn't think he should be confused, that's all.

Wow, Fred, thanks for that suggestion. You know, maybe *I'm* using the
wrong hardware! I mean, I could go out and buy an Amiga, and then I
could rub elbows with all you mature guys! It'd be like maturing ten
or twenty years! Wouldn't that just be great! I sure wish I could be
like you.

You know, up until I read this, I respected your argument. Mistake.
