Heck wrap the whole computer in tinfoil, not just the harddrive,  and
wrap the monitor too.  Now see how purty it is.  of course it is hard to
see through the little hole in hte tin foil.

If one sounds better, marvel at the suggestibility of the human sensorium.

For those of you who believe bits are not just bits, try this: wrap your
computer's hard disc in three layers of aluminium foil to "exclude harmful
electromagnetic radiation* ", and check out how much more smoothly your
programs run, with significantly less errors, and brighter colours too.

I know who I believe.


I choose to believe my ears - if one sounds better to you - then use it
happily - do not worry about the theory or hype. Bits are not just bits,
just as CD is not "perfect sound forever"
