Indeed yes. One can smell a QL used by smokers. There is a lot of rot talked about the physical dependence. All one needs is a good incentive - like meeting Sarah who I knew would not tolerate a smoker. I gave up overnight, and she didn't even guess. I will never forget Phoebus (you see I can spell it!) with a headache on the way back from Orlando. He was very good and only smoked when we stopped. He though stuck his head out of the window (while driving) with a smoke, and said "Ah that is better" Amazing.

She is now even more anti smoquing than a non-smoquer like me. A few years ago when I worked in broadcasting, I had to install a replacement sound mixer in a video editing suite. The guy who normally worked in there was a very heavy smoker, I was nearly ill when I saw the insides of the old sound mixer.

(Saved me a bundle ;-) ) Ffibys Save even more...don't smoQue ;-)) Absolutely ;-) Tony was instrumental on that (ie he bugged me to death ;-) -although Tony you gotta admit that although in a smoking room I did not smoke inside ;-) - However I don't see anything wrong with TobbaQo ;-) (I'll be honest with you; I miss it every day) A few years ago when I worked in broadcasting, I had to install a replacement sound mixer in a video editing suite. The guy who normally worked in there was a very heavy smoker, I was nearly ill when I saw the insides of the old sound mixer. Hehe you should see some of our mixers and amps when I was in a band... The PCBs were yellow (but not naturally). The most disturbing was of course that the nicotine-laced tar deposits attract dust like a magnet and the result is almost impossible to clean; especially on the controls which smoke seems to be particularily fond of... (Now let's imagine our lungs for a sec ;-) hehehe I wonder if Tony Firshman has any such experiences repairing QLs (there...back on topic quite easily!) I bet he has but not on my Aurora (See I never smoked in front of a computer... can't say the same for my clients though ;-) Ffibys ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
