Not to nitpick (oh well, I guess this is a nitpick), but a the laws of aerodynamics and the theoretical ability for an object to fly are completely consistent with the "then known laws of physics and engineering" from hundreds of years ago. But I get your point. ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94770 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
