O-10, I do not have such kind of memory, meanin’ that kind of a feeling. The one who is "mine" has to be with me or near me, the one who is not, is simply not mine so why I would like to re-find such person again...I am sorry for killing the romance. I like both links equally.

Fro’ s post to Alex reminded me of a guitar teacher I once knew. I asked him what kind of guitar, in a matter of quality, his students were buying. He said right away: the cheapest ones. His explanation was simple, at least he thought about it in a simple way: "Well, M., do you have any idea how many students give up on their guitar class? Majority of them. And why would they spend lot’s of money for an instrument that will collect only dust by just lying on the top of the room’s wardrobe for some time very soon? So first they have to be 100% sure if they wish to continue with the practice and if they do, they can start thinking of getting a better instrument."
What nonsense. I am quite sure that all those kids who gave up on their playing, will never find out what their instrument under their fingers really could have done. The nature of a sound between instruments can tremendously differ depending on instrument quality (and brand). A profi player cannot do much with lousy instrument. On the other hand, it can creat miracles with a good one.
