Again, I understand. (That's a record, BTW), and that's why I am only
going to alert a couple of people.

BTW, the wayward veggie, Aub, has just turned me onto a thing called

Only works on .wav files, or something like them, and reduces the file
size by 1/3, without loss of quality.
Very Interesting.
