| You know, it's the continuous 1.0 load average (thats not a big deal
| unless I'm compiling) and 4 hour sampling times that bother me with
| this mp3 business...  (I know, you're machine is probably much faster).

I held out as long as I could.  Honest.  But spurred by all this
discussion, and a couple of Gb of currently unused space on my
(single CD, talk about annoying) desktop machine, I snarfed up
some free tools and did a little MP3ing.

Is it just me, or does everyone suffer from really horrific
drop-outs and noise whenever their machine does anything other
than play MP3 files?  I woulda thunk a 250Mhz Pentium II was
enough.  Silly me.

                                        Cheers,
                                          norm
