I think it's interesting how two question that don't seem obviously related can give you an answer when considered together.
Like when we used to go see films at the old Princess Theatre. There was huge dome over the centre of the seats, with a chandelier handing from it. If I had to sit under it, I spent a lot of time looking up and hoping it wouildn't choose today to fall. There was also a large balcony at the back that had more seats on it and I used to wonder how you actually got up there. At the entrance to the actual theatre bit, there was a wide staircase and I used to wonder where it went. It was after the new cinema complex was built and we went back to the Princess one night for a charity film screening that I managed to find the answers to both those questions :) (Yes, it led up to the balcony.) So I'm slow sometimes.
I do that a lot with computers too. Why is there an unused grey cable inside my computer? And why am I getting hard drive failure messages? Oh.
Or tonight, what _is_ the purpose of the third hole in the back in the sound card (one for speakers, one for mic and one for...)? And why isn't the computer recording sound from stereo now that I've hooked them up? Oh.
So now I know what the third hole is for and I can record from records :)
