How old is too old?

Anyone using Squeezebox server on Mac OS X?
yes, we leave it on all the time, just put it to sleep when we are not using it or listening to music. We turn it off once a week for updates etc. or if it is stormy outside.

Does long hair destroy the soundstage?
Well, at least now I know how to respond when people ask me why I wear my hair short! All in the service of the music muse.I've read for years about removing one's glasses when listening and I swear it makes a difference...and please, no glass cof...
