Hm. Jobeth is looking for a car? Think she'd like to drive something like <A HREF="http://laf.cioe.com/~zodo/newcar.html">mine</A>?<P>The concept of Jobeth on the road is scary, but quite believable with some of the morons I encounter on a daily basis.<P>Yet another button of mine:<P>"Fight Rush Hour Traffic - Legalize Vehicular Weaponry"<P>-Zodo

</B><P>Blanks come in three sizes.<P>60 minutes, 74 minutes, and 80 minutes.<P>74 minutes is the most common out there.
Coincidentally, the normal amount of music you can fit on a CD is 74 minutes.<P>-Zodo

And Sony just debuted its new LP minidisc recorder; fit up to 5 hours and 20 minutes of music on one 80-minute MD!! YES!!! Though, I'm still trying to find if there's a loss in sound quality. I'm assuming so, but nobody will tell me. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/frown.gif"><P>------------------
