Things were horrible back in the '70s (except for the music). Yeah, every time I listen to Dylan I get nostalgic, and then I get paranoid.

Disco ruin rock and roll, the last half of the 70's had very bad music! Nice fusion though, the best in fact. Jazz started to die in the 80's Kenny G killed it. LOL now there is next to nothing but NOISE, rap is the killer of rock as was disco. Of course it didn't hurt that Kurt died along with the Seattle sound and Jerry of the Dead. No one wants to buy an album for the art of music anymore or the actual art on the cover, they want it in sounds bites, MTV did that, napster is the pinnacle of that thinking. Which brings me to peer to peer. Starting watching what MSFT is up to with .net, and a new comer, Groove ( I can't find the web site though) peer to peer is the next wave along with greater bandwidth which will allow virtual networks to be opened and closed in minutes if not seconds. With that the server in the middle is eliminated. Think about that last sentence long and hard. The above will affect us in ways we haven't even thought of yet. Greg
