Re: OT PESO: The Shed Mahal part 2 This time with a link

Nice work Cotty! With the obligatory cat shot ! I did something very similar in my first house but to fit my triangular part under the stairs I made an entire tray on wheels that could slide in and out making it easy to get things stored in the back. Kenneth Waller http://www.pentaxphotogalle

Steve, I tested both the iPhone and MPB both on the train and at home, with similar results. Downloading the EQ 10 app for the iPhone and fiddling with the sliders has given me a sound that almost matches that from the MBP. A few nights ago I was at my computer editing pix, 10 feet away from a wi
