Hi,

How come not recommending? Then the blip-up-down would just mean twice

Well, we have a family Mac, so yes.
I work in Linux. And have Matlab of course.

I am not at the scanner but it makes a difference of quite a few 10-ms I think.

Well, yes. Currently living in IKEA-land. Affiliated with Karolinska
Institutet in Stockholm though. I will approach Ingvar Kamprad (Mr
IKEA) when I see him next time in our village.
Cheers,
