Late ejaculation

[fpb]

Self-recorded audio CDs like the ones I burn in my computer have a small problem: occasionally the CD player has trouble catching the right sector and takes some time to start.

This afternoon I put in one and set it to the third movement of Schubert's Trout Quintet. It immediately went catatonic, and, as I had other stuff to think about, I forgot all about it. That was about 45 minutes ago.

One minute ago I jumped nearly out of my chair as the aggressive opening chords of the third movement suddenly exploded from the loudspeakers.

So you know the source of your problem.

Some Gates wrong somewhere?

Everywhere. Oh, let's not be too general. In all-too-many-places.

Ah, the evils of (Windows) technology. It doesn't work when you want it to or when you need it the most.
