Is the RIAA so backward that they think broadcast radio is the latest technology? Why not AM radio? As I heard once on Monty Python, "Explain to me the logic underlying that stement."
Once again, Einstein is proven correct. The depths to which stupidity will sink knows no bounds. I'm so tossed off kilter that I can't even boggle over it successfully! However, on the off chance that this thing passes, can we at least get the little manual tuning wheel? That'd be a nice, nostalgic addition to the next gen iPhone. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
