Much as I hate MP3s, I am very glad that I will never have to deal with
another bin loop machine again as long as I live.
Well, I *was* saying that it wasn't better. But as a consumer it was
all we had if we wanted to listen to J Geils in the car, so I stand by
my "cherish"ed recollections. I was a listener, didn't have bin loops
machines to cloud my joy.
Smileys throughout.
