Yesssss, but supposing Techno, old buddy, old pal, Techno, Tech-no, Tech-no-prisoners, Tech-master, Tech-master-model-maker, suppose you were to say, knock up a few Byzantine masters ... wouldn't take you long would it? You're so good that you could knock out some good 'uns in no time at all. Let the gee-gee's stew in their own poop for an evening and the next day - voila! You could just do them so we could see what they would look like - couldn't you? Bet they'd be WONDERful!   

Techno's biggest fan - FSN
