Remember - one of the purposes of Sneezy2 was to get enough space to
_demonstrate_ these things. If you can make an MPEG of what you're
talking about (hey Roger - I'm sure IWU has a media lab) then let's put
it up on sneezy2 & see & hear what you are talking about.

Language is imprecise for demonstration. Visuals/movies work much better
in cases like this and we now have the means to easily disseminate them.

The upcoming new edition of the Legere' web site on Sneezy2
(www.legere.com) will have sound snippets of Richard Hawkins playing a
Legere' reed ...
