It's always interesting to see how one changes opinions, and I       do admit that I do so from time to time.       I still think that Apple TFTs are overpriced, but I have enough cables       behind my desk already (PC, BeBox, Acorn RiscPC, and Dreamcast all using       the same TFT, keyboard, and mouse via switch), so the ADC comes in handy.              It cerainly wasn't my first change of opinion, the biggest one so far       probably being my opinion about Yamaha drums. Several years ago I       thought that Yamaha drums must be crap, because a firm producing so many       diverse products cannot do any properly.       After I while I noticed that a lot of my favourite drummers actually       play Yamaha drums, and I got used to the sound. Now I think that Yamaha       makes some of the best drums and I have a Yamaha kit myself...              --       M.I.K.e              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
