[BC] ABC layoffs

[Milton R. Holladay Jr.]

I believe you've got it figured out !
But now these questions: have automatons of any type been developed that
will do the listening to all this ?  Will they have an appreciation of what
they are hearing ?  Will they react by patronizing advertisers ?  Will they
electronically generate letters to *The Stereophile* and *The Absolute
Sound* about the nuances of the audio quality ?  Can they interface with PPM
?  Enquiring minds want to know.................
