But if it flashed fairly fast, I might not be able to know if it was really flashing. Very cool idea.

I know several "blind" people who are able to notice flashing lights, but totally unable to establish any detail. I also know a couple of guys who physically lack eye-balls (one of whom is a world-class jazz pianist :) ...took me ages to work out what the funny clicks were during his performances, until I noticed him running his baby finger up the black notes at high speed to determine where his hand should land - damned impressive!) Anyway, the point being that there may be a lateral solution to the problem ...hook the remote control port up to your ear-lobe and generate a small electric shock - LOL BC At 17:10 21/12/2004, you wrote: >Well, what I was thinking of probably is not feasible because what I >was looking for is that when I press play button while in a recording >-- and I guess you would have to write the frame to disk to do this >--- then it would say pause.
