Contrary to what some say about me, I do keep an open mind. He gave a very eloquent speech, I laughed in a few of the right spots even. I still do not accept Jesus as my savior. This is not for trying or lack of trying, just how it is. __________________

well, Pak, let me say this, since your return to this site, you have shown yourself to be a surprisingly frank and insighful individual with whom I happen to passionately disagree about a handful of basic issues. Before you really came across as some perpetually p.o'd dude who liked to cuss people out. Well done. __________________

You only have yourself and Danny to blame for it.
You taught me without teaching or even preaching for that matter, a better way to argue. Danny provided me with a better, if not perfect, way of addressing different matters and improved my way of looking through an issue. __________________

Quote: Imagine hearing great, departed pianists play again today, just as they would in person. John Q. Walker demonstrates how antique recordings can be analyzed for precise keystrokes and pedal motions, then played back on computer-controlled grand pianos.

Actually, the person who posted the vid on that account said design and I just passed it along unedited.
Watch the vid and point out the 'designer' if you find them. __________________
