Ahh...  but if you had 10 of those CD towers (total cost = $3500) is
cheaper than (/ 3000.0 111) 27 6gb disks (total cost = (* 226 27) $6102).

Add in the cost of a small home electronic control device to turn
on/off the various towers and the IR transmitter to talk to the
current "on" device, and you're still saving money by a long shot....

He he...

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).
 
Lars> Anyway.  Gnus?  

Gnus?  Where?

(this thread has gone on way to long....  it was silly to start with)
