Aw, c'mon Carl, show a little moxie. You just have to sign up for a
little over 140 Gmail accounts and then fire off a little under 42,000
e-mails to archive your terabyte of music.
Sheesh, kids today, don't know they're born. Why, when I were a lad
we had to send e-mails by rearranging wires on a plugboard and
flicking switches for each character...
