Er, you've played PG Frank?

Now THEY were (still are, IMO) great games, Goy. :)

I just thought the "hit the wall" part was funny because that's
actually the one thing you can't do in the game. =)

You're kidding right....

>Project Gotham ran at a **constant** 60fps, as does Gran Turismo 3, as does

Exactly, vinyl is so much better than CD, but most people just don't get it.

That's because some people realise that, thought the difference can be
measured, it cannot be heard by over 85% of the population. And, of those
15% that can physically tell the difference between vinyl and CD or a lousy
set of speakers and a good one over 65% don't give a rodent's behind.

I'm in the 85% that can't tell the difference, BTW. I can tell a harsh sound
apart from a warm one, but I can't tell which is more accurate. The sound
engineer's hard work is completely lost on me. I can tell obvious faults
(clipping, booming, hissing, etc...), but, other than that, no, sorry, too
subtle.

Eh...what was that, Jan?? Speak up! :)

You and me both, mate.
I've amassed a vinyl collection of some 300 albums over the years - all in
pretty good nick and rarely played now, other than to copy them to CD or
mini-disk.
But when I do spin one up I'm ***ed if I can tell the difference between
the vinyl and CD versions of, for example, "War Of The Worlds".
Highly-expensive and "superior" audio equipment would be a total waste of
money for me.
I'll stick with my B&O, Denon and Onkyo gear, circa late 1970's - mid
1980's! :)

They say that once you hit mid-40s hearing sensitivity starts to fade away a
bit and I know that whenever I've got a head cold my hi-fi gear isn't worth
2 bob to me.
