	As would I. I planned to write one, but, remember, this IS Yoshi
	we're talking about. :-)

: Surround-sound in itself isn't terribly difficult...it'd be fairly simple
: using something like SoundSmith to write tunage which would trip a Dolby
: Pro-Logic decoder and create REAL surround.  (anyone wanna try this?) However,
					        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
	I've been trying to get Dolby Surround-Sound information from
	Otto Chrons and the rest of Future Crew. No luck; I also snail-
	mailed Sector 5, the people in Germany who originally wrote "Super
	Turrican" on the SNES; in the ending credits, they state some info.
	about Surround-Sound encoding can be given out to the public and
	if we want it, mail them. So I did; no reply yet.

: one of the VAMPS disks as I recall made the claim that you can get the full
: effect even with just a GS internal speaker.  (insert the sound of my Psych 
: 312 [Perception of Vision and Sound] professor snorting).

	That's impossible; (story time) when I was younger, about in the
	4th or 5th grade, I was in a play which had something to do with
	Thomas Edison and his inventions. The lyrics went something like
	this "Nothing is impossible, if you try; never say quit, never say
	die; come on why don'tcha give it a try." At the time, I thought
	this was pretty cool: Well, boys and girls, it's B.S. at it's
	best :-). I know for a fact Sony (or was it Pioneer?) released a
	speaker w/ a Pro-Logic decoder within it which if mounted on the
	middle of a wall in a square room would result in true Surround
	Sound; this I can believe: But, the IIGS internal squeeker just
	isn't capable of that. Sorry, Tom; with two speakers, maybe; with
	4, you betcha, but not with 1 speaker w/out a decoder.

	What I find interesting is Toms' basic programs for VAMPS. Very
	funny... Lots of math and stuff which use ARC TAN and SIN and COS
	all over the place in variables; these variables aren't used any-
	where in the rest of the program. Anyways. Like I said. Tom has
	all the right in the world to do what he wants. But stating mis-
	information about the program which we all know is quite false
	REALLY doesn't help the IIGS as a whole at all (if you're going
	to look at it from that point of view).


: And my $1.50, subject to retroactive taxes of course.

	Yes, $1.50 for Ian, $0.2 for me since Oregon doesn't have sales
	tax. :-) But, if it was based on property tax, make that about
	$5.75 for me by now.
