OT-today's logistics

[Raymond62]

My neighbour has an orchard with apple trees. His house is just around the corner. I really want a particular apple. This apple first goes to some obscure country to get labelled. Again this apple goes to another country for packing. Again another for putting all apples in a box and finally that apple, together with all other apples comes back to my supermarket, where I can buy it for 20 times the price he first asked me to pay. And it took almost three or four weeks before I could get that same apple.

And they still claim that apple is fresh....!!!!!

Man, can I kill a thread or what?

Not fair, I'm the one who always kills a thread stone dead. Let me try...

Supermarkets in Evesham (UK) have been stocking asparagus from Peru.
Evesham is regarded by many who specialise in such things as one of the best places in the world to grow asparagus....

But on a musical note...I love all my huge and superbly realistic orchestral and other sample libraries, I'm able to do such amazing things with them all....but the other day I had to go back to a very old project and I was totally stunned when I clicked on the song icon and in an instant the song was open with all the relevant rack synths and samplers cued up and ready for action. I had completely forgotten how quick it is to load a midi and audio only song.
It takes minutes to open some of my big orchestral cues, and if you are constantly going between cues it takes up ages.

That's progress, and I wouldn't want to go back, in fact it gives me time to browse here I guess....

But apples and asparagus, eh?

Now THAT'S how to kill a thread...

Both wrong, this is how to kill an apple.
