Cool!

Ah, well there's the rub - Vinyl is still v prolific (I know, I have
to lug over 300 pieces of it around each time we move house). I guess
that the same will happen: different media will suit different
purposes. If you wanna DJ, you buy vinyl. If you wanna listen in bed,
you buy CD. If you wanna find stuff out fast, you read on screen; if
you wanna read on the beach, you'll buy paper? Like you said, who
knows! Just look at Betamax.

I may disappear into obscurity again now, I have work to do.

See ya,

Lou.
