Tell that on the L.A.D. list, but put your nomex underwear on first.

If you are referring to Sony in the "big houses" category, sorry, I just 
lost interest.

Rant mode on:

  In my cd purchases since they put the rootkit on their cd's, and Phillips 
sued them because some of the early releases had the CDDA logo on the disk 
and inserts.  And Phillips wanted REAL money, lots of it.  Ooops.  That set 
the boundaries and put all the pressers on notice that the content of the 
disk HAD to meet Orange book specs if they wanted to use that CDDA logo.  I 
don't buy it unless its there, and I don't buy anything from Wallies 
because they STILL have the bad disks in the sale bin yet today.  Sony 
supposedly did a recall & exchange for clean uninfected disks, but that was 
too much trouble for Wal-Mart because the packing and shipping was on Wal-
Marts dime.  I suspect Wal-Mart was not the only peddler that shrugged and 
went on with the days normal business.

We do support some of Sony's VAIO computers in linux, but until Sony gets 
the message, not much of their stuff goes into the developers homes unless 
the drive is removed and formatted first just to protect the rest of the 
stuff on the local net it might get plugged into.

Yes, I own some Sony stuff, but its both junk considering the price ($280 
1986 dollars) and paper specs they never met, plus its now 25 years old, a 
dual deck, reversible metal tape cassette deck kit, supposed to have a snr 
of around 75 db with dolby enabled.  Maybe it might, but you would have to 
put in a comb filter whose base null is at 60 hz to get rid of the -45db 
hum.  From either of its decks.

Yeah, Sony is a 4 letter word, and likely to stay that way in this old 
Chiefs Tipee.

They can start by writing royalty checks to their artists without all the 
creative book keeping that makes the artist owe them money for a cd that 
goes gold.

I'll get me coat.

Cheers, Gene
