Is there any software for titling a MD deck on a Newton PDA? via IR? I have
a old 3 year old Newton 2100 w/ 8MB of ram. This is my main mobile computer
as I check my email and use the web on this thing.

Does anyone know where I can get those plastic sheets that hold MD disk? The
sheets have 3 holes so you can place them a standard 3 ring binder. I have a
couple of these and need some more. Where can I purchase these?

Legal issues aside, you're wrong about this. People *are* losing money.
If you record a friend's CD onto an MD, you're getting the album for
free. Forget about the record company for a minute: the *artist* is
