Boy, do I ever! What a bunch of crap. What amazes me even more is that the
RIAA isn't fighting CD-R's tooth and nail. I'll have my own shortly. The
blank disks are down to a buck apiece in quantity (although the local
$16.95 per CD music store wants about $7-9 for one). It takes a 4X less
than eighteen minutes to copy a 74 minute CD. Just think, you could copy
all your favorite music onto less than $50 worth of media, and carry them
around in your car. If anybody steals them they'd better have the same
taste in music, because they're unsellable. The originals are at home.

Can't wait for a $500 DVD burner.
