i hear that, I spent a winter (a week or two) in hamburg once.., there was too much fog to see the water.., but I did see a big black shape move past nearby.., then it honked.., it was a huge boat. .??

yes Australia does not lack beaches.., five minutes from here and then.., just keep on going and going and going...
in Bali, the only people who drowned seemed to be the Japanese and the Germans.., so we all figured there must be no water in those parts.., very strange for us 
oh yea, yamahas were good too, and the tascam was great when it came out.
Our pride was the TEAC, but we didnt make better music on it?? sounded the same as the cheaper ones to our untrained ears.
take it easy and life will be easy
