OFF: White Noise / CDNow

[ANDREW GARIBALDI]

The problem of having a large website and keeping it updated to the nth
degree for music related sales is getting quite a weight around the net
retailers necks, mainly because most of the people operating them do not
have the luxury of being both financially aware and great at that side of
the job, as well as musically aware and great at that side of the job -
someone ought to give me the job as I seem to be one of the few dinosaurs
that fulfills both criteria - but that aside, I will check out the definite
availability of all White Noise CD's tomorrow and report back to the group
tomorow noght or over the weekend, OK.
Andy Garibaldi.
(currently listening to the friggin' excellent album that is the new Portal
CD - superb or what)
