Re: The Curse of Knob-Twiddling

["Mike Biffle" <Mbiffle@svg.com>]

I think antique furniture and tea cosies set a very nice mood... Just come 
out, sit down in an easy chair, and act like you're in your living room. 
(Of course your living room may be bristling with hi-tech gear, but hey... 
it'll blend with the homey atmosphere plus you'll have some nice tea to 
sooth your jangled nerves.)

A little pounding on the gear, like it's not working properly, adds a 
certain element of intrigue and tension as well... Just like dad with the 
old tv set. 

Do NOT preen or affect any other obvious superior airs... 

Become one with your audience...

enough...
