Hi Ed! If I recall correctly, though, when it first came up it was the musicians taking the hysterical point of view. I used to enjoy rather nice piped in music almost everywhere that was so old it had to be public domain. Now the halls and elevators are strangely silent, disturbed only by the slight sounds of the ac systems. Thanks, guys, I'll remember that when I decide to buy something other than a CD at Christmas and for birthdays. -- Regards, Pete http://www.pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
