I'm sure there is such a brush. Today I visited some friends and on the way I passed the American car of an acquaintance, btw. a known German jazz musician, http://www.jaroschek.com/. His car talked to me. No joke. A speaking car :D. It's just a kind of alarm system, but in Germany it's unusual that cars start talking. We are living in a crazy world. I wasn't on drugs, but had a small talk with a car. _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
