  1. Analog flanging via tape machine was well known at the time. You'd get 2 machines going with the same track on both, but one machine would be driven by a 60 Hz generator with an LFO that would be fed to a power amp then to the tape machine power cord. Another way was to drag your hand on one of the tape reel flanges (hence the name).
  2. Yup - - I think the Dixie Chicks are fabulous musicians who make great music. Not my cup of tea, but I appreciate great music wherever I hear it... But using celebrity to foist your views on anybody else puts you on exactly the same footing as Rush Limbaugh. And I just can't respect that.
  3. My oscilloscope has a touch screen interface, and it's perfect for that - - I can drag cursors and waveforms around at will by pointing at them. But I would think you'd get pretty bad rotator cuff problems in your shoulder trying to do that on a 21" screen for a DAW mixing session.
  4. After being raised with 8 siblings in a 2 bedroom house, I don't think I"ll ever want to move into a house under 1200 sq ft... When I was a kid, I had 7 sisters, and it seemed like at least 3 had PMS at any given moment. In summers I lived outside, coming home mostly for meals. I still get tense when the people per square yard exceeds 0.3 or so, though that was decades ago. However, there is such a thing as wretched excess. Why anyone who has no kids needs a 6 bedroom house with 4 car garage is beyond me. Who wants to clean all those rooms full of crap that no one ever uses? It's a bit ridiculous.
