>ps. just saw vic c last night with kristin h. great show. does your radio >promo have bonus tracks? I bet that was a good show. The CD I picked up is "About to Choke" and it has the same track listing as what is shown on CDNow. Is "The Salesman and Bernadette" any good? Speaking of CDNow, and the subject that brung us here, from what I understand CDNow was selling CD's at a loss just to build up a customer database to sell off, a business model which apparently has failed in their case. I used to work for a major national ISP/portal service, and its scary how much info is gathered and sold off. The newer version of this service has an address window built into the shell it puts on your browser that tracks the URLS you type in and captures all that in a database somewhere, presumably to sell. It didn't capture hyperlinks you clicked on, but just URL's you typed in. But then this whole internet thing rests on a structure built by the defnse department, so its a safe bet that its being recorded anyway. Did you hear a clicking noise?
