and this is off topic (sparked by jason's comment below) but has anyone
else noticed in recent years that minidsics/pdas(palm/pocket pc)/walkmans
have got a lot quieter to protect peoples ears....
My minidisc was terrible for volume, mp3 player is okay.
I do remember the last walkman (sony) I bought 6 years ago did have that
AVLS (Automatic volume limiting system) button on it. Isn't it required
by law or something? I always thought it was daft, why not just turn it
down? I do remember the one time I switched it on it was very very quiet.
