------- Forwarded foolishness follows -------
While shopping for my first CD player, I was able to decipher most of
the technicalese on the promotional signs.
One designation had me puzzled, though, so I called over a salesperson
and asked, "What does 'hybrid pulse D/A converter' mean?"
"That means", he said, "that this machine will read the digital
information that is encoded on CDs and convert it into an audio signal -
that is, into music."
"In other words this CD player plays CDs."
"Exactly."
