Rich....

What can I say? You're absolutely correct.
Internet radio can be for...for....ummmm....for Kermit the Frog. Yes. That's
it. He TOO can have his own slice of bandwidth and the pros can stick with
the main frequencies. Unless I've missed some messages this whole HD thing
has the ring of SQ. Remember SQ and Discreet 4-channel? High quality my
foot. The masses today don't even know what good sound is. Niche market
or....no market. Dunno.
