yeah, I definitely have stuff in my collection that I would never buy again if I didn't own it. Things that didn't hold up, things that were gifts, things that a friend or family member dumped on me saying "I don't want this stuff" and I took it on. Crazy to keep some of this for sure, but once ripped and put away, not that big a deal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97486 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
