Woody, let me tempt you further - my '93 V63 (Kevin's ex) has a 12.4k toaster and a 11.8k RIHS. Hows that for hot?!

The C64 basses have the cap, the Vs and CSs do not.

I'm listening to XM's FIne Tuning and they are playing Yes' Symphonic LIve (2001) in total with no interruptions. Awesome and the boys at their best!

Me too! Irene was coming back from Lake Michigan and called to see how I was doing (a day of 7.5 hours of painting followed by 10.5 hours at work). I told her I was listening to it and she said she was too, which is a first as she doesn't like Jon's voice. But Yes is just so on top of their form it captured her. I told her I have the DVD and we can watch it together. We'll see..... :lol:
