Holy Crap! 1.3 Terabytes! When I first started reading this article I was like "man, I wish I had known about this, I could've competed" and then BAM! My 160gig hard drive is laughable in comparison. I wonder if I get extra points for having music that I have written and performed on my hard drive, in wav including completed versions and the individual tracks for each song. I still probably wouldn't have enough to get an honorable mention. I would love to go through those song lists though. I want to see what's there and do they have the "cherry cola" or "coca-cola" version of "Lola" and the like. Kudos to you with such grand music collections. I wonder how many of you have given up on radio as I have. Do you get frustrated at work when the satellite radio repeats the same song 2/3 times during your shift. Who pays for this crap? I wonder how well the crates and crates of old vinyls my dad's DJ collection had would compare? Not even close.

Wow, I am a dork amongst geeks. I just checked my collection that I thought was so big and I have just under 3000 songs taking up about 11.5 gigs. I guess its because I don't know who ABBA is. What all do you guys have?

Most of my CDs are gone. When I left for college my sister took my place. Five years later my movies, music and furniture are all trashed. Most of my movies were VHS so I'm not too torn up. I have been rebuilding my collection with help from all of mp3 dot com, sigh. So the sound quality of my music is lacking, but I have not had a good enough system for it to matter, yet. To my credit though, I have deleted mass amounts of my collection because I don't listen to them, like the whole Beatles Anthology. I would rather listen to the original complete versions. Plus, being a musician, I'm picky. I can't listen to talentless music. I'm not a fan of media discs either. I like the Kleidascope/Hanger18 idea. They're a start. I hope this doesn't get me flogged in public. Before you start with the abuse, I am moving, getting a better job and will start on having a HT worthy to watch/listen to high quality stuff. Then we can be friends again.

I also take a big hit from not having complete albums. For instance, I didn't need the whole collection of ELO just for the song "Don't bring me down" because it has my name in it. I'll make a deal with you though Geoffrey. I'll start buying DVD-A/SACDs when you trade those two four bangers for a V8. Hyundai is coming out with a 4.6L 300+hp Tiburon that might be right up your alley. Who am I kidding, once I get a good system in place I will be wanting to use it to its fullest so I will be buying the good stuff anyway.

And I bet it's a crappy iron-block truck engine just like the current V-6!

Hey, it's a Hyundai. What'dya expect? Actually, its supposed to be an all new motor. It sounds alot like my old Northstar V8. I think its funny though. You got GM coming out with the Volt and Hyundai coming out with V8 luxo cars. Was it ten years ago when GM was making gas hogs and Hyundai making disposable cars, or was it less? Anyway, I was at the Chevy dealer last night trading my beautiful Caddy for a Silverado. Long story. In the showroom was the beauty of beauties, the Vette. You know that thing gets 27 mpg. Is that sick or what? So lets get this straight. You could be at a stop light with a VW Rabbit beside your Corvette. You have three times the horsepower. You can run circles around him without even trying and he gets a couple more miles per gallon. That's ridiculous. It gets the same gas mileage with its 6.2L V8 as a 350Z and Maxima. That's engineering. So there you go, get rid of those dinky cars and get a Vette.

It's all in the gearing and lack of drag, but yes, that pushrod V8 is very impressive. Also, the city mileage is a bit misleading. I think it's called skip-shift, they force you to shift from 1st to 4th unless you're flooring it. Annoying, but not a bad idea.

I knew a kid that had a Colt that would shift like that. Of course, that probably wasn't good for his car. The only real annoying shifting for me is the German's reverse. I love German cars but why did they put the reverse all the way in the upper left. You have to push down to get it over there. It just doesn't make any sense. I love a stick though. Automatics just don't know exactly what you are doing or what the road is like ahead so they hardly ever shift correctly. I want to try that paddle shifting one day. Looks fun. Umm, were we talking about music? I can't wait until my system is finished. I want to hear some Hilary Hahn play some Brahns or even the Dire Straits "Telegraph Road." Do you have any recommendations do add to my collection that fits somewhere in classical, rock, metal, blues and jazz? I like singers from Ella Fitzgerald to Eddie Vedder and any musician who has talent and skill.

sorry to ask this here but… I really love your theme, would it happen to be a free one i can download somewhere, or is it a custom theme you had made? Soon i will be launching my own blog, however i’m not great with designs but i do like the style of your site so it would be excellent if i could find (or buy) something with a similar look as my last designer cannot finish my site. Thanks! Please come visit my site Nashville Yellow Page Business Directory when you got time.

You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through. Please come visit my site Dallas Yellow Page Business Directory when you got time.
