Yup, I've pulled that trick too...sitting through 6 hours of taped programming is a bore. I've also used it in the recording studio to make a timing problem go away, similar to the turntable trick above. And, oh yes, the hand-on-the-reel trick is the origin of the "phlanging" sound. -- Rsk the Wombat UUCP: { allegra, decvax, ihnp4, harpo, teklabs, ucbvax } !pur-ee!rsk { allegra, cornell, decvax, hplabs, ihnp4, ucbvax} !purdue!rsk
