There's more of those, but that's what they are. For every 10 wastes of airspace on the radio there is 1 good talent. And I'm probably being kind. Actually, no I'm not, I'm starting to sound like Simon Cowell, which is to say NOT kind, but also right more often than not :) Oh, and before anyone says it... clearly I was not an exception to the rule myself, otherwise I'd be making the millions instead of talking about it on this list :) > I suppose you can ship tune on-line, rather than be involved > with a label or publisher until you hit the big time. That is starting to become an option... maybe not shipping online, but certainly you can do far more yourself independantly than you ever could before because of the Internet. If I was still an active musician I'd probably be pretty happy with what I could do now without needing a label so much. -- Frank W.

Rick Reumann wrote: Anyone else fed up with trying to keep up with all the stuff coming out every day in this crazy IT world ??? At one company I worked for we kept a list of all the technologies/acronyms we were using on a single web project. After we ran off the end of a page we gave up. And that was several years ago. Amongst the biggest issues I have with all the new technologies being thrust upon us all the time is that there's very rarely any real chance to get to know them, experiment, etc. to the degree necessary to be actually able to evaluate, separate the wheat from the chaff, integrate them into an existing envronment (when it's even practical to do so), etc. It seems like given an appropriate amount of time to deal with the AWAH (Acronyms We Already Have) that considerably more robust, automagically documenting, blah blah blah systems could be built. Instead we have to spend all our time putting out fires, using technologies "half-way," etc. At least that's what I find _my_self doing more often than I'd prefer. I can't play an instrument or sing, but maybe it's not too late to become a rock star at 35? I want to join a ska band. Actually, not being able to play an instrument or sing is stands you in quite good stead for joining a ska band.

What gets me now is stuff that just doesne install. I tried to install ATI Graphics Driver last night. I guess what it didn't work with the latest kernel 2.6.11.8 that I downloaded the night before.
