Dear MMD,

Yesterday I was suffering from frustration; today I am cringing in
embarrassment.  A couple of MMD readers have already pointed out that
setting piano hammers to a 1" travel is ridiculously small.  I agree.

I had set the travel to 1-3/4".  However, I thought I would be smart
and I pasted the Word symbol for 3/4 into my message.  It looked fine
in the text on my computer screen, but Eudora seems not to have
recognised it, and ignored it.  Oops.
