It's probably the most accurate term in the english language, but a tad clumsy - especially with it's common usage in the sound reproduction field."I want these shoes to be as historically accurate as possible." "I want these shoes to have high historical fidelity." What - you want them to squeak? Historically correct? Right? "Conform in configuration and materials with extand artifacts or common artistic representations?" English is a tricksey language... -------------------- Geoffrey Bourrette

I gotta say, "Being Hi-Fi" has a certain ring to it...  "You ain't Hi-Fi, you're a FARB!" and certain other amusing conversations come to mind. I like it!  Cheers! Gordon -------------------- "After God, we owe our victory to our Horses"

Gwen you need a bigger fridge and to hire a young boy scout to show you how to use the dvd.I like HI FI - a certain sense of tongue in cheekery. The A word is pure poop and badly used, gaaaa where possible I try not to even speak it, leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. -------------------- history is in the hands of the marketing department - beware!
