Thanks - great to listen to!   Although my mind quickly started hearing what ELP would have done with this in the '70s ala Fanfare :)

Time to clean up wrapping paper.  And, I got two CS80 (repair) related presents:  an extendable (looks like a pen when retracted) magnet for retrieving screws you've dropped for inside things.  And, great new LED-lighted magnifying glasses with interchangeable lenses of different strengths.   I swear, the hardest thing about fixing CS80 lately is my ever-deteriorating near vision.  Damned presbyopia!

Also saw The Hobbit yesterday in an amazing new theater of a chain spreading around here.  Full bar (that pours very strong drinks!)/restaurant.  Electric, fully reclining leather lounge chairs with reserved seating.  Call buttons to order food before/during movie.  Oh - and excellent sound / video with full 48-frame / 3D (active glasses) for the movie.  Yeah - there was a movie, although, with everything else, we'd have been happy to just sit and watch CNN for a couple of hours there :)    Hobbit was great, if not perfect.  And, when I got home, watched the Doctor Who Christmas episode.  Excellent!  Love the new companion - in any time period.  And Strax, the Sontaran, is just hiralious as The Doctor's  Man Friday / Dr Watson / munitions expect.

Hope you all has a great day and a great analog New Years to come!
