Top Alternative Rock Albums of 2008
Seeing the other lists made me wanna add The Gutter Twins and the Fleet Foxes albums to my list. I LOVE the Burial album but I wouldn't call it alternative rock or 2008.

Ozric Tentacles have been around over 25 years. I'd hardly call them newer. They are good though as well as Eat Static which is kind of a side project for a few of the guys. The new-ish album titled Back To Earth is fantastic. Steve Hillage even s...

I could probably author a book on the subject hence my name :-) Are cds an option or are you specifically wanting vinyl? 
SACD availability?
Kojima I think the exact opposite is happening. I think more and more are being released now than in the past several years. One look through the new Music Direct catalog I got in the mail this past week can verify that. 
Apple versus PC
I smell the sarcasm but my point is that if someone is going to dish out info and address people in such a way that it infers that you really know what you're talking about("a short note to the community") then that info should be correct. If I'm ...

Why in the world would anyone call Mac's OS Mac? Mac's current OS is OS X or Leopard. I've never heard anyone EVER call the OS the Mac. 
G'N'R Chinese Democracy LP
Ya'll are too late with the Dr. Pepper offer. They put up an entry form that ended midnite I think on Sunday.

I just want to clarify one thing. I have been referring to using 2 external hard drives. One for extra music storage and one strictly as a backup drive. $400 total or possibly less if less storage space is required. 
I Tunes Backup
I don't know where to start with this. The Drobo does not even include hard drives and it costs $400. You still have to install the hard drive(s) of your choosing so why mention "Not if the external drive fails"? You'd be choosing brands/makes/mod...

But Time Machine is built into the Mac's OS. That plus an external HD=way cheaper than a Drobo.

What's so hard about using Time Machine? You don't have to know ANYTHING about RAID, NAS or anything...you just plug in the extra drive and it'll guide you through it all.
