All I have to say is, GREAT GOOGLY-MOOGLY!!! How many CDs do you folks
have??? At roughly 12-15 songs per CD, 18,000 songs roughly equals
1200-1500 CDs!!!! How in the world do you a) store that many (add a room?)
and b) ever listen to even a fraction of that many songs? That's more than
5 WEEKS if you listen 24/7!! It boggles the mind!! Oh, and for anyone
who's bought 1200-1500 CDs at the usual $10-15 a piece (i.e., somewhere in
the $12,000 to $22,500 range), even the extravagant price of a 30 GB iPod is
only a minute fraction of what you've spent already...

- Eric.
