   It's also wrong.   
      
   It's ALMOST an accurate quote from the film _Diva_ but if you actually   
   watch the film you'll see that I misquoted it.  I had been using it as   
   my .signature for nearly twenty years before someone pointed out to me   
   that I got the quote wrong.  I figured at that point it was too late to   
   worry about it.  Now it's nearly twenty years after they pointed that out.   
      
   I'm still using the Nagra IV, though.  It still sounds great.  And I   
   still love _Diva_.
