For music-at-work, I like http://www.pandora.com. There are others, but I like the randomness of it once you teach it the general theme you like. I have radio stations ranging from Fluke to Red Hot Chili Peppers. Once a radio station gets an idea of what you like, it introduces you to new bands.
Amazon.com has a huge selection of music. Between that and cdwarehouse.com, I can pretty much find anything I want minus a few random labels. --- Puryear Information Technology, LLC Baton Rouge, LA * 225-706-8414 http://www.puryear-it.com Author: "Best Practices for Managing Linux and UNIX Servers" "Spam Fighting and Email Security in the 21st Century" Download your free copies: http://www.puryear-it.com/publications.htm Thursday, December 7, 2006, 1:26:20 PM, you wrote: > You are too hard on yourself, Dustin, and no more a pain than anyone else. > Most of the time, you are easier to get along with than most people. .... > Oh, never mind. > Most people still get their music from CDs.
