| Together everyone was stronger than any one person alone ...whatever happened inside of hijacked planes before we can only assume that there weren't enough time for passengers to realize that planes had been hijacked.

| Cause of speaker static? I completely agree with Rockvirgo. Digital components can be realy noisy. The biggest source is power line.1. Try to use a good quality power cord2. Try to connect your digital source onto the different power line or to the power conditioner/power... | |
