Broadband Looming

If the folks at Qwest are to be believed, and I hope that they are, I should have deluxe, i.e. 640k, DSL within 24-36 hours. I ordered it last Tuesday and was told that I would receive everything I need by this Tuesday, tomorrow. I can't wait. For one, I will lose the excuse to not be job hunting because firms can't reach me since I'm online all of the time. But most of all, I resolve to start hoarding mp3's. I blew it by not getting cable or DSL when Napster was alive. I am going to do my damnedest to make sure I exploit Kazaa at least as much as Kazaa exploits me. Vince has something like 1500 mp3's from Napster. Graeme nearly ruined a computer from his hoarding days. With a huge hard drive and a burner, I now have no excuse but to load up on all the music I can grab. I see now that with Palladium and other technologies on the rise, that the days of free music may be numbered. Hopefully, I've learned from my earlier mistakes in this arena.
