Yup! Rather outrageous, yes? I suppose if the idea of today's Internet was
discussed 30 years ago, people would think the idea is nuts. I suppose if the
idea of sending pictures and sound through the air, then to a display in your
living room was discussed back in the civil war years, you would be burned at
the steak!
Store the songs in memory? I don't know. Maybe when technology gets this
advanced, they will call "memory" something else.
If you don't want to call it a receiver, call it something else. I don't
care.
Where there is a will, there is a way. I will modify this well known line to
bring it into the 21st century: Where there is a profit, there is a way.
