that will give sushi a good reason to upgrade all or part of his system!

Curtis got it right.

I'm the ONLY male in the household of SIX (including a live-in nanny); I wish I had a boy who is as geeky and techy as me. LOL I need someone on my side...

Actually sushi, it sounds like your Y chromosome needs some beefing up. Aren't you in the pharmaceutical biz? Can't you take something for that?

Ah Sushi, I can relate. My wife is expecting our third. I can only hope that the balance of power will shift slightly in my direction this time around. I would love to have some Hot Wheels in this house.

watch out for one of those Hot Wheels going down a speaker/sub port!

Semi On,

I can't remember the last time you wrote something i DISAGREED with.


We need to have a beer sometime

Semi...you should change your handle to Dead_On, as you are dead right.

Since I've begun downloading mp3's my purchases of cd's has probably tripled. I've found so many new artists through the downloading of mp3's that my collection of cd's has been growing and growing.

Any time you're in Phoenix, Ravi.

spifnme,

That was the experience I had at the height of Napster. I'd post a thread to Ars asking for new artists and get 80 replies with hundreds if not thousands of new bands. I'd download them all and drop a few $100 on the bands I liked.

Not anymore. So long as the RIAA continues their stupid antics, I'll avoid buying CDs. I'd miss having uncompressed and high quality copies of good new music if I were being exposed to any but I don't even bother any more.

And THAT is why the RIAA is screwed.

Precisely! And I remember a number of highly vocal artists openly endorsed the phenomenon in the height of Napster, saying that they gained a great, zero-cost vehicle of advertisement, and lost nothing.
