Mike, while you will always have my respect as a Kollector and
source of The Nollidge, no-one in their right minds can love `Dangerous
Visions'. But I think the whistle is as worthy a sonic attack as any,
and it makes the relentless quality of that particular `Brainstorm' seem
all the more cyberpunk and dystopian as a result I reckon. Hey, the
coffee was obviously good today, yours,
Jon
