        Ah!  That's one of the Kreiger guitar bits--I'll have to go back
and listen to it.

        I would concur that digital has yet to come of age (50 years from
now, I'm sure there'll be a cult CD following ("Man, like, CDs just sound
_warmer_ than datachips, you know?" ;)
        And I would also concur that it's damn convienient!  (Especially
over cassettes--I can't stand them except as temporary storage to listen
to things in m walkman, or necessary evils of live tape collecting.  They
just degrade too damn fast, and get damaged too easy.)  ADATs are great
for recording, though in end I would like to use something less reliant
on a media with internal moving parts.  I'm not familiar with hard-disk
recording tech, but I would think that eventually something like a
re-recordable CD would be pretty cool for recording studios.

Cheers,
