wow. that's got to be the earliest i've heard of something like that. but if you want the youngsters to get it, you've got to go with the kids. Apple is doing something very very similar with the ipods. Folks even MY age are very reluctant to switch. They are a lost cause. Give the kids ipods...and they're going to want the laptops...then they'll want the desktops. they've already seen a significant spike in their laptop purchases. Building a market for electronic music, or even for Leftist/Progressive politics, will take the same type of thing. peace lks
