It is just an electronic fire. Muttering away in the background. Why should it bother one? I guess it may depend upon how you were raised. I grew up in a loud and cantankerous environment. By the time I was four or five years old I had learned to simply ignore a lot of what was going on around me. I find this ability has served me well in later life. I feel sorry sometimes for people who seem unable to concentrate unless circumstances are "just right." Indeed I find it easier to concentrate when their is a continuous stream of activity around me. I do though always maintain a background awareness that is checking for potential explosions. And you? BobLQ -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
