[Fwd: [TPIN] HUMOR: How many TPINers does it take to change a light bulb?]

[James Klages]

* 1  to start a related conversation saying that all bulbs should be *only
be white* and of not more than 40 watts- that brighter or colored lights are
unnatural or decadent.

Several to argue that Monette lights ($2,000 per bulb- each light weighing
between 3 and 2 pounds) producing a richer, more beautiful light.

Several more to argue that Wynton's lighting was better with non-Monette
bulbs than currently.

Several to say that looking at the "classic" pictures and photos from the
past- we should only use black and white lights.

This can be develope forever.
