RE: Paging John Atkinson

"Gordon Holt ascribed the coining of the term "jump factor" to Doug Sax (see the linked article). He described it as "Listening to music with only half your attention, you hear a noise from the speakers that sounds so much like it's in the room with you that you jump with surprise."

I'd like ten dollars for every time that's happened. I'd be a Thousandaire!

Good on Gordon and Doug.

See ya. Dave
