Not Us: We're Morally Superior (& Cheap)

Half of all U.S. households own at least one Apple product, according to CNBC’s All-America Economic survey.
None of that crap here. Not even iTunes on the devil-box. (OK, Quicktime. As soon as we uninstalled it we'd be directed to some antediluvian site that would require it, so why bother?)

What do you use to play music?

My Apple IIgs from the 80s lives in the closet.

AND I didn't pay for it.

I stole it from work (not that they cared, this happened long after the company went to PCs.)

Breakin' the Law!

Morally Cheap Editor:

We can live w/o music. When we are in the mood, there's plenty of crap for our age cohort on YouTube. (Like, many of the discs we owned long ago.)

Also, friend & sexual assoc., while technologically retarded, has good musical taste (For a girl, hah!) & a lot of CDs now ripped to our Windows Media Player. (Not that we're defending Microsoft as a paragon of corp. virtue.)

A. Friend who worked for a Reuters division that was shut down was told by the boss to help himself to his desktop. (This was almost 20 yrs. ago, as you might figure.)

Wait! Editor:
You can't conceive of a way to listen to music w/o the use of an Apple device?

That's it. Western Civ. really is done.

Count me among the half that doesn't.

And some people still use those phonograph things. Luddites.

Make sure and rip them to mp3s and not wmas. Easier to trade.

Medium/Message Editor;
Still own a phono ourself. One of these days, digitized vinyl!

WAV. Knew better than to trust anything w/ "Windows" on it, & poo on mp3s. Poo on trading too. We do not play well w/ others.
