Bit of a hopeless romantic eh? ;^) (I'm afraid to ask *what* stuff!)

We looked it up last night. The range of the pitch bend is a whopping +/-
8092. It's effect can be set from 0 to 24 semitones. So if the range is set
to 1 semitone, then you have 8092 steps between a single semitone. 1/8092
of a semitone, I'm sure, is all the resolution a sound card will need.

Yeah, be careful working on cars! My dad did that for a living and had
friends with their ring permenantly tattoed to their ring finger. There's a
lot of current in those, 100 cranking amp, batteries!

Sounds perfect. Check out Crater Lake on the way up, it's gorgeous. They
claim it's some of the clearest water in the world.
