A fool inand his money, was: USB cables for audophools

I am please that at least one other person knows how to pronounce that correctly ;-) Indeed. You are most likely not going to discover anything new if you keep on getting the expected results. Investigating the oddities is what leads to really new discovereies. As regardfs my 'perpetual motion#' device, as I said I was quite young when I treid it. At the time I probalby didn't ahv a clear concept of 'energy', let alone know the conservation laws. So I don't think I was foolish to try. And having failed, I had a commonsense idea of the conservation of energy when I came acorss the concept formally. And no, I didn't try to get investors :-) IMHO it is never wrong to invsestigate thigns like this. In fact if more people tried making things, had ideas and did experiemtns, etc then the world would be a better place. -tony
