Jay, The Alsop piece was many in a series of articles... ...in various March issues of popular magazines that touched on Napster. Seems like all these tech gurus were asleep at the wheel and then Napster comes along and MP3 is a revelation for them. I may still buy regular old audio CDs, especially cool compilations. I may still go to concerts and events. My kids may still buy merchandise by their favorite artists. But even if I have to pay for a service like Napster's, I know that this, combined with devices like the Personal Jukebox, is the future of music. In fact, any fool who looks at the facts can tell that this business will be completely restructured over the next few years. Maybe that's why I'm grumpy, because I feel like a fool for taking so long to get that. I think it speaks to the fact that SanDisk is still low on their radar. They haven't put 2 and 2 together yet to get 256. A stealth gorilla taking a roundabout way through the underbrush. Well, it looks like there may be a clearing ahead. fortune.com Message 13241783 Message 13287806 Ausdauer
