Just got pretty Jessica Galbreth calendar in the mail today. It's titled "A Little Night Magick". I'm pretty sure this is meant to take off on "A Little Night Music", but is that the name of the whole play, or just the name of a song? And was it Stephen Sondheim? I know bloody well I knew this in high school, but I can't remember it now. (And asking you lot is so much more entertaining than just going and looking it up on the boring old web.)

tass: i really like the last line [of the article]
tass: but heck
tass: i'd pay $50-$100 for an annual license to download whatever
enotsola: that is a good line, yet..
tass: i'm sure most people would
enotsola: err, yes
enotsola: I probably would
tass: since with your bandwidth...
tass: you'd get um...
tass: well, thousands of dollars worth.
tass: heh.
tass: and yet
tass: that's "thousands of dollars worth" in the current model. i mean, it costs a lot more to produce and market a physical CD than it does to serve 5 megabytes.
tass: so maybe
tass: you'd only get hundreds of dollars worth.
enotsola: *nods* still though..
tass: surely you'd get some dedicated "abusers"
tass: but most people would only get as much as they'd really paid for
enotsola: they'd be making more on it than they are now
tass: definitely true
tass: a per-year membership to.. whatever.. an online version of BMG or Columbia House.. (except less invasive) would prolly be VERY effective
tass: heck
tass: i'd pay for that.
tass: part of the reason being...
tass: i'd be guaranteed the files were perfect
tass: and on my bandwidth, that matters, in terms of wasting my time downloading
tass: and in the US, where not everyone has broadband and what there is gets more impacted with every new subscriber.. that matters
tass: unlike you lucky canucks :-P
