You never know.  You mentioned vinyl, and the few people I know who invest
in vinyl are mostly more picky than me.  Otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned

from sister).

Because it is our calling as computer programmers.  Oh sure Bill.  Be a party
pooper.  Just go listen to what your admin side tells you to do. ;)

burn a wav file.
