   This has been a long-festering idea rattling around in my head:
should the value of *music* depreciated with time? The used CD market
certainly seems to think so, but noone else seems to - music actually
gets *more* expensive as it gets older, since nobody runs sales on old
stuff (except brick-and-morter retailers - I'm talking about
matufacturers retail prices)

Just a random, OT thought,
Jim
