I understand this completely. I have the same problem. I still use a 56k
dial up, but I only pay 6.95 a month for it. So it is still cheaper than
buying cds.

I understand this. At the same time an artist that can only afford to
reach people through the internet probably isn't going to reach her by
common means of advertisement either, but the artist might reach one of her
friends, or perhaps a brother, through the internet. Then that person might
transfer the information to her via vocal communication protocols. :) OK I'm
getting a little silly.
