Ah, now you're mentioning some old devisive terms - The Queen's English - it's quite an odd way of speaking English, and I don't personally know anyone who speaks it. The English The Queen speaks has little to do with common parlance, like wot I talks :D Chris :) -- Stratmangler There is no element of personal attack in my response. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stratmangler's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20387 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85319 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
