From the manual for my CD-RW:
A few trial on differnet configuration before recording is recommended. Also, try out different CD-R media before you proceed to make volumes duplication as you may figure out which brand of CD-R media orignates smoother recording and easier access. As long as you find the best CD recording way stick to it. Good luck and have a nice recording time.

On a related note: A friend of mine bought a T-shirt when he was in France. The label said: Fabriqué en Dinde. In French une dinde is a turkey while la Turquie is the country. Close, so close...

one claw, a bunch of cranberries in the other?Oh, well, pacifism has never sold well. As proof, I note that here in the USA, one often hears Republicans (the usually more hawkish party) threatening, "I'm gonna kick your ass...," yet one never hears a Democrat tree-hugger/ granola cruncher, no matter how large, no matter how well-versed in martial arts, threaten a redneck with, "I'm gonna kick your elephant!"

I see the Britboy is ignoring his harrumph...
[raised-eyebrow warning e] at the Zildene-ess.
Oh! I'm sorry, Jackie. Was that peculiar noise** you? I thought you were far too ladylike to do things like that!
And I am (slowly) planning a holiday in the Antipodes (well they are to us!) Is 40 days and 40 nights about right for the Zildeness?
And talking of peculiar noises and ladies (well I was anyway) - A society hostess was suffering (as were her guests secondhand) a violent attack of flatulence at a dinner party. Every time she made a noise she stared disapprovingly at the butler, attempting to deceive her guests into think it was he who was the offender. Eventually she let out a conversation stopper, and turning round to the butler, said "Stop that at once, Jeeves!". To which the butler replied "Certainly, Madam. Which way did it go?".

"quod licet Iovi non licet bovi"A-hem (is that more ladylike, Rod? )--I don't speak no Latin, but I have a feelin' I've just been called a cow... Y'awl come, she bawled. (Hi Geoff.)

While I don't remember any specific instances, reading Japanese motorbike maintenance manuals in the early 70s was actually more entertaining than informative for ALL of the reasons given above. I rather regret the passing of Japanese translators!
