I'm just knocked out by this amp's looks; If it sounds as good as it looks, I'll have a new favorite here. I'm really excited about the possibilities, and I'm itching to hear this little amp with a pair of the new eight π loudspeakers.

I'd like to pair this amp with the eight π speakers 'cause they're both exciting and new. I think this amp would be a fine match for two π's and Theater four π speakers too.

You can make the π character using π in your text. Surround it with a text size tag if you want to make it a specific size, i.e. π. But that only works in the body of a message.

To insert it in the subject line, you'll have to copy and paste the π character, or select "Symbol" as your font and type a lowercase "p." You'll also need to make sure that the browser window is using UTF-8 encoding (set in "View - Encoding - Unicode UTF-8" in your browser). This is supposed to be automatically done by the forum software here, and it is written to do that. But Sheri has to do some work on the server to make it happen.

It used to work on the development box, but stopped when she moved to the production box. It's been sort of low on the list of priorities, so I haven't pressed the issue. But I'm anxious for her to solve it since until that's done, all index pages show the π symbol as "π" unless the browser is manually set to display UTF-8.

I worked as a computer programmer for some time, developing electronic design automation tools for (very busy) electrical engineers. One of the things that I learned to do was to pin them down carefully on the specs of the tool that they wanted me to write for them. They were very napkin-oriented. I think that any programmer or engineer learns how important specs are in order to avoid misunderstandings and missed expectations. Of course, the specs almost always change on the fly, but that, too, can be better dealt with.

Hey, one more thing. Check out the post in General about BPL.
