There's a lot to be said for "simple", especially when it would require invasive (and expensive) monitoring to implement a per- song download fee. BTW; I don't generally download music: I tried it and the sound quality of MP3 is crap. I don't use windows; the engineering quality of the product is crap. But I'd still rather pay taxes on hard drives than have snooping software installed in Windows. See, given the choice, I'd rather have taxes rather than snooping software accepted as "normal". -- At least for now. Bear
