My other problem is that mp3 encoding takes too long (10-15 mins) on my single 233 P-II (which used to be fast). I've looked around on the net to download new ones, but can't find a download site. Wish intel would supply downloads of their newer processors... More seriously though, a friend of mine just told me that he just saw a cd juke box for sale at a local electronics shop. It's somewhat expensive (for a CD player) at US$350, but it holds 350 CDs. Thats more than I can fit on my current hard disk (12gb total between two) :-). I'm considering it... I doubt it comes with an elisp control system though.... -- "Ninjas aren't dangerous. They're more afraid of you than you are of them."
