Hi all: RE: cable -dsl thread ( relative to idm as bandwidth relates to the speed of our music downloads....) I've had a dsl line for just over a month and all that I can say is, "when it *works*, it's great". Perhaps I am one of the "small group" of folks ( my provider claims I'm one of a 5% group who experience line problems ) whose lines are sensitive and problematic. I love it when it works but when the line is down, its like I'm without bread and water . This is a scary thing. I unsubbed from my old dial up line so when I'm down, I'm down. I can only speak of US experiences as I don't know dsl technology in the rest of the world. I believe that some cities and some geographies have better coverage. As the prices are going down and cable technologies are knocking on the back door I would'nt know what to recommend, getting dsl or waiting. Take a chance; most dsl lines are *barely* more than typical isp monthly charges. RE: music : has Christoph Heeman ever put out ( released, produced, etc. ) a techno recording? Listening to his experimental ambient stuff makes me wonder how he'd do it. He's phenomenal. RE: this list: Thanks all, Peter Becker np: a stack of vinyl I found in a garbage barrel under a pile of snow.....and some Kompakt 12"s, and some Severed Heads and that new fuckin' D'angelo. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
