64 Hi,
65
66 I checked the script -- it works :)
67 But it is to slow (my computer is to slow, I am too fast?)
68 I can press twice the number of keys which got "sounded" by
69 the script.
70 Or is something wrong with the setup of my sound interface?
71 My computer is a Athlon XP2 64 (32 bit Gentoo) 3800+, so I
72 think, that it is not /that/ slow :)
73 Any ideas?
74 Best regards,
75 mcc
