      Even though I have cable, I keep 3 threads open at all times just in case of that sort of thing. Aren't you glad to hear that I'm on top of things, BC?

          I don't condemn, else I would be a hypocrite.

          I think most people have at least two browser windows open when reading on Poly.

            I agree, back in my 56K days I had at least 2. But I've had dsl for almost 18 months now, and 1 window is enough since loading is virtually instantaneous. When virtually instantaneous changes to over a minute something is wrong somewhere. Fortunately the problem is intermittent at the moment.

              Well, if I ever get a spare $600 or so, maybe I'll pick up a PC and play around with it. But right now, most of my savings are intended for a new 1G iMac by the time fall rolls around.

                  Apple's new music store — 99 cent downloads and you own it — looks like it has potential, especially once it expands its song database.
                  The only thing Apple's new music store proves is that Mac users will overpay for anything. In an unrelated deal, however, I'd be willing to sell you a bridge...

                    Always have two Poly windows open. Makes things easier for me.

                    But I wasn't here these last few days, so I can't comment on the apparent slowdown.
                    I watched you fall. I think I pushed.

                      99 cents for a song and it's yours? That's a heckuva deal, considering that singles used to go for roughly $3 per song, and full CDs run $14 to $19. Yeah, maybe the quality of a DL isn't exactly studio, but still ...

                      And you can keep your bridge, unless you're willing to trade with me for some beachfront property in Arizona.

                        That is still expensive, considering you don't get anything tangible with your purchase.
                        I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                          You get an MP3 file that you can burn, which ain't too shabby. What kind of quality is it? I'm assuming the bitrate isn't the glorious 14h CD-quality but it's at least 128, right?

                            if a CD has 10 songs on it, 10 * .99 = 9.99. That's only a 50-75% discount off the CD, and the record industry is still ripping you off.

                              That's true but on a standard CD these days out of ten songs there's probably only two or three you'd actually listen to. If you download ten songs and burn them to CD, you'd have ten songs to enjoy for less than you'd pay for an album that's half-assed at best.
