midi-controlled hygrometer....how did you know? 72 percent is the 
perfect humidity, which is also the midi number for c above middle 
c....the hygrometer is set to play notes at every degree...flat it 
triggers and dispenses distilled water, sharp it doesn't.....

It's not hard to mix a Scotch neat.....still have problems with it 
trimming my cigars: it does well with robustos, but blows it on the 
perfectos.

To keep this on target: I will gladly get together with anyone while at 
the Y2K6 (http://www.y2k6loopfest.com/...pimpin it yeah) and show them 
how this stuff works. No, I'm not an employee of cycling74.....just a 
huge fan after converting me from carrying all that heavy gear.....

max/msp cut my chiropractor bills in half......
