[ Normal Development. ] The ones that 'scribble everywhere' are identified for special attention and/or medication. The "Test" is given again in various forms at 8, 11 and 14 Years of Age to little Boys. Many of the ones who still refuse to Color-within-the Lines by Age 14 can be found in a Juvenile Custody Facility. {Lack of Self-Control and/or Acting Out Anti-Social Behavior} ~ RHF The song "Flowers are Red" (Harry Chapin) expresses extremely well how I - and many others -- feel about such "coloring-book" nonsense... the terrible smothering of creativity by those blind to it... or worse - jealous of it... You might give it a listen... Cross posting: Let's see - we have roughly 20 serious DX radios in the house; several VERY good AM HiFi sets (& still trying to find my Fisher TA-600); 50+ general radio sets that were manufacturerd in the 20's 30's 40's 50' 60's and 70's (what no radio newer? nope). Have tube mono-blocks and tube stereo amps (some williamsons); JBLs from the 50's 60's & 70's; some vintage Sansui stuff; some decent R-R gear; Hammond A-100 w/Leslie 122 (three decent power (tube) amps between the two - just overhauled the leslie amp); Let's see - I've logged 80+ countries (R-390; R390A; R391; NC-120 (RAO-6); Philco 37-640; Zenith 5F233; Silvertone 7038; GE-P990); logged all 50 states on BCB; and play with a 5000W (AM) transmitter (daytime - a bit less after sundown ;-) which just happens to be on the (drum roll please) AM / BCB dial... So I'd say that's tube stuff, (listening, designing, just starring at the glow); Shortwave (did I mention we've been listening to RTTY since the early 70s? - yeah - and I wish I'd never sold my model 28); antique radio-phono - and most of the radios in the house are 50+ years old - and yes - there are several phonos here from a V-15III equipped SL-95 - to a Signet equipped SL-1300 (with the usual broken cuing mech). are appropriate groups... yet I tend to stay in only one. Point Jon was making - he wanted to tap talent / opinions from a broad pool... Seems to me - that talking about a HiFi AM receiver (last time I listened there was still a lot of AM on 19M) using tubes covers the above mentioned groups pretty well... esp. if one like to listen to OTR through their personal broadcaster over their HiFi receiver... (yeah not everyone gets to play with a 5KW Harris - but while I can tweak the crap out of it - I seldom get to pick what goes out over the air - difference in being the "engineer" and the "owner"... (though I do run some stuff while performing "maintenance" on ocassion big grin!!!!!
