Save even more...don't smoQue ;-))

My wife stopped smoQuing about 15 years ago. 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.

I wonder if Tony Firshman has any such experiences repairing QLs (there...back 
on topic quite easily!)

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)

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 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 ;-)

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.
