Yup... notice parallels with finding the perfect woman *G*... this should 
appeal to our male-centric audience.

Hmm, I dunno, read something about that waaaay back.  It mentioned 
intensity stereo was what increased/gave us that underwater sound (which I 
later found was called pre-echo)... Anyone clarify this?

Fixed punctuation.

Of course, that's why I didn't put in a "but".  If we learn anything from 
the marketing droids at other companies,  it's that OUR product is better, 
and that by throwing out "buts" and caveats we just end up confusing 
people. As far as I'm concerned, there are no options, and that's what I 
want others to think as well. *G*

Very good humble opinions.  Thanks, it's a better piece now.
