May 29, 2002	CDR Burning compatibility with DVD players DVD readers need two lasers to (reliably) read CD-Rs. This costs money, so not all consumer DVD players implement it. I believe it's getting more common, though.Note that all DVD readers should be able to read CD-RWs - that doesn't require the sec...
May 21, 2002	What is the most expensive? I'll sell you my special Grand Enema power cable, 1/2 meter, for only $2 million. Note: Price does not include connectors. When used with my special Golden Shower Reference connectors ($1 million each), this power cable makes a powerful statement,...

(And please be bookmarkable so it only has to be entered once).That would fully ...
Apr 13, 2002	Barber's Adagio for Strings Get the Zinman/Baltimore. You'll be rewarded with a full CD of terrific Barber performances, not merely a good "Adagio" (there are many of those). Great sound.
Apr 12, 2002	Paypal requiring cash or Paypal credit card? Personal accounts can't accept credit cards ('cause these accounts are free).
