Re: Electronic House magazine's Best Homes of the Year 2007

actually, that's not a bad idea ... some sort of introductory
material to get people settled & in the mood ... at the concert-hall,
at the theatre, & for operas, they used to have / have overtures, to
do the same thing ...

only ... it could all for nought, without a way to jump the copyright
& disclaimer texts, and the trailers, at the start of DVDs ...
sometimes it's possible, by jumping around the controls (as it were),
but far from always ...

'must remember have a we're at the cinema mode on the HA, too, to
handle the things that would be interruptions ...
