Denon, Infinity, Enough said :)

The first song to hit the airwaves: Kyrie Eleison from Mozart’s Requiem. I suppose I should balance it out with some Mr Mister.. lol…

Talk about crisp, clean music… with Dolby PLIIx Pro from the back end processing, it sounds.. ahhhhhhhhh :=)

I could go on. Heck, I might…

Hmm, Jigs & Reels…. ahh, fibercelt! Fun Fun!

Whoohooo!

Best!

I took the iPhone plunge. So far, I like it. I’m still having some difficulties setting up my various and diverse IMAP logins for email, but I’m pretty confident that iphone has a rigid compliance spec while t-bird is a little looser. Hey, t-bird can afford mroe lines of code than iPhone can… “if mail_admin=$LOONY then accept_anyways…”

Really, I like the phone. I Really, REALLY like the browser. I’ve got webmail as a backup, and I can use it, so that is cool.

Phone sounds great, but I need a new antennae solution for the car… I have 3 major dead zones that an antennae helps for 2 of. Or Cingular/ATT can drop a couple more towers in place :)

There is a learning curve, but it makes logical sense, so the curve is shallow and short.

That’s all for now…
