"Like everyone else on this planet, I've replaced a bulky CD collection with a bulky file server that hides in a closet" (my italics).


I feel compelled to challenge this kind of thing every time I see it. Most people on the planet have not yet used a telephone (despite the quick spread of mobiles through Africa), do not own CD's and probably don't yet have the closets for their as-yet undreamed of media server. Computers are the playthings of a largish minority of the wealthiest people on the globe. Let's not just dismiss the majority of human beings with a glib phrase, please.


Despite that cavil, an interesting post for the wealthy minority amongst us.

    Sorry my typo italicized the whole thing. Not intended, and it doesn't look like this message board allows edits.
