April 1st is the only day you're likely to succeed, for obvious reasons. Nothing is known for sure, but it is expected they are happier running Linux systems, so you may have already won their favour to some degree. Rather drastic, but if you could replace the monitor PSU with an analogue unit - you'd almost certainly get their attention. Really, all it takes is to walk a mile in their shoes. Imagine arriving on the crest of a powerful wave, having a laugh with your mates - only to be chopped up like some daft bugger is switching on and off again faster than is humanly possible... It would be wonderful if they choose to communicate with us via you. If not next year, then keep trying. There will be much heated 'discussion' about it in their world. You just have to win over the majority, as it is believed they've developed democracy and it might save the world if we know what they want. Even if they won't communicate and you find you must dispose of the monitor, set them free gently. Imagine the sudden shock of implosion. Sudden release from the confined tube makes them angry and would negate all your good work. You could do it yourself, but it's obviously dangerous. Better to take it to someone who still has the skill to release them gently. If you can find someone. You can get some idea how many are contained by simply lifting the monitor. It will probably seem much heavier than it used to. I like to think of them as The Electron Massive. Good luck to you and I'll be looking forward to annual updates. If only I could find someone at CERN who would listen. I know they only use large hadrons in the LHC, but how many TeV??!!! It's cruelty I tell you. I fear I have already said too much. I shall say no more. -- _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
