Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Too rich for my phoneline, in my case. Dialup
You don't need a fast internet connection to use an MP3 player.
Also -- I don't get how they're a lot of work. But I ripped all my CDs way before I got one, so I guess my barrier to entry was low. Once you have ripped, though, it's not much work. And the ripping effort is on par with playing the CD once -- so your ROI appears pretty quickly.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
what is the brandname of the ultra-expensive gas stove that basically stays hot all the time? I think it's made in England.
Betsy would know. I recall that she has the stove lust. I think it was French or Swedish, though.

It's an Aga. And I want one, for no good reason at all.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Aga?
Arrrrgh! Brenda beat me by TWO seconds! Damn you, wee Brenda! You win this time!

It's not Viking? Those are made in Mississippi.
When I lived in Chico, it was common knowledge (so, possibly not true at all) that about one person a year died on the train tracks that ran through town. I can certainly remember one who was just a drunk kid who couldn't quite make it home one night and lay down on the tracks. There was no derailing or anything.

By the way, I have a Rio MP3 player that I don't use at all. Don't know what the memory is, probably smallish. Free to a good home if someone wants it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But I ripped all my CDs way before I got one, so I guess my barrier to entry was low. Once you have ripped, though, it's not much work. And the ripping effort is on par with playing the CD once -- so your ROI appears pretty quickly.
The ripping CDs thing... I dunno. I don't play CDs off my computer, usually. But maybe I should, and get with the ripping and burning and whatnot. And then there's all the fiddling and playlists and blah blah. I don't mind just playing CDs.

Allyson -- You work at the Jet Propulsion Lab, Don't you? Did you see this story about a book about the JPL?

If I only had a brain...
Vikings are the expensive American commercial-turned-residential stoves. Agas are the British ones that are always on, which makes more sense given the British climate and household heating. I think you can get coal-fired Agas, or could until recently.
