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.
