Thanks Nate. If I do take a chance on one, I'll be happy to send it up your way so you can have a listen and a poke around inside, should you care to.

If so, I apologize but I couldn't find it. Or any other mention of Little Dot, hence my groveling intro. Edit: Aaaand ... here it is of course. Off to do some reading. Please feel free to delete this.

I love the AVS forums, but stability has not been their strong point.

I know they don't get many (any?) mentions over here and this will probably mark me as irretrievably jejeune -- but, for the money, I've been pretty happy with the Little Dot MkIVse I picked up used on HF. Anyway, their new balanced tube amp is apparently now available at a fairly tempting $724 shipped to the U.S. and I wondered if anyone had any thoughts on the basic design? Haven't been able to locate any specs, though they explicitly say it was designed to be able to drive K1000s. Any idea what the driver tubes might be? Pity about the gold tube sockets, but what are you gonna do?

Ah'm agin it.

Took the kids to a party. There were tubs of Gook and Ooblick, so they needed hosing down afterward, but the birthday boy's father also thoughtfully provided cold beer, so it wasn't all bad.

That's ironic.

Unsure exactly what we're talking about here. So, either congratulations or commiserations, as appropriate.

^^^ Pure class. Decent lines, though I say so myself.

Quickest turnover ever?

The source is good, but the details remain elusive. Time will tell. Personally, I think we should just take off and nuke the phone from orbit. It's the only way to sure!

I hope mapstec gets his soon because I wanna know how it sounds!

They're obviously making it up as they go along. Assume things will settle down as the ecosystem matures. Has anyone found any truly compelling apps yet? I use Remote all the time and Pandora is pretty cool on the go in the car. But I haven't been motivated to spend a dime in the App Store yet.

Based on what I've read subsequently, this story has been over-egged. It's not a remote kill-switch, rather a mechanism that prevents applications from accessing the iPhone's Core Location API unless specifically user authorized to do so. Basically, it ensures that random apps can't secretly keep track of your movements via the built-in GPS -- which doesn't seem like a bad thing to me?

Batman is a touchy feely dude.

Enjoy! And PM me, please, should you ever tire of it in future.

Wot eez eet?

^^^ Thanks for the push. Mopads work well, particularly when you are (literally) rocking an early-90s Ikea kitchen table as a desk. Guess I shouldn't have gone for the Flimsii.

The typewriter reminds me of Angry BBQ.
