The best selling software in December for Wintel machines was Easy CD Creator; the Mac best seller for the same month was Toast, another CD burning software. It's easy to see why record com... | |
| The big audiophile dilem In another thread on 1/18 you said that your Transparent References were a "really great match" for the Mini-Utopias. Has anything really changed in less than two weeks? | |

| What High End Manufacturers Could Learn From Bose Justacoder's car analogy is most revealing. I for one have never driven a Ferrari, but I know know their mystique.
