Hmm, Java and BSD, sounds like a good match. Most of the Java stuff
needs loving on BSD. I have been waiting for some stuff to be keyworded
for months. I might look to see if I can't sucker/talk Matt into
keywording that stuff, and some others once he gets his feet wet. Or
maybe to wet his feet :)

Yeah, and to collect vinyl these days, you really can't be specific to
any one genre, artist etc ;) Almost take what you can get times. I think
there might be one or two companies out there still making them.

I know audiophiles swear by them, and anything analog. Just fire up some
