Not in the spirit of the piece. It was important (to Cage) that it be preformed in three movements. I think using map in void context is also called for: `map { sleep 1; } ( (1..30), (1..143), (1..100));` [download] YuckFoo	[reply] [d/l]

You have given me a bit of sunshine today (being stuck at a corporate desk, i rarely get any). thanks. Very funny Scotty... Now PLEASE beam down my PANTS!	[reply]
