in a most polite fashion, as most japanese-natives manifest themselves, the sales manager poked his pen in the direction of the cream colored box sitting on my desk. coincidentally he cocked his head to the side, and inquired, "...what is...that?"

i giggled to myself, "it's my subwoofer."

a hand moved thoughtfully to his chin as he furrowed his brow.

i further explained to the thirty-three year old man, that it was a device that produced bass for my music.

he suddenly and excitedly hummed in recognition, "haaaaah ! hmmm hmm hmmmm."

i then realized that working in this industry is like being in a twilight zone, where people don't get tired of listening to pop music for 8 hours straight, don't realize that there are browsers out there besides netscape, and don't know the first thing about how to operate their computers.

...i can be queen ! a sorceress if you will...of all that is multiplatformed ! muahahahahaha
