Are we going to rehash the whole 4" speaker in the cassette deck argument again? Please lets not start this debate again. Just to show you how much I want to bury this discussion I won't even bother to share the pages of technical arguments that were presented last time. Nor will I even state which side they were on. Nor will I state which side I'm on. I think this was the argument that finally discourged me so much I quit participating in the net for months. Irony, I'm so upset thinking about this I'm back to posting to the net again. Stop! Please Stop! I think my sanity may be at stake here. I'll go to bed now, and when I awake maybe it will just be a bad dream..... Searching for my tongue somewhere near my cheek, Greg Rogers Tektronix
