HAve you ever tried using Sun's Staroffice. It offers compatibility with word formats through word 7.0 (95), and I'ce been transferring documents back and forth no problem.
There are many many many audio lovers out there who would reject your statement. For them, analogue all the way is the ideal. Hell, some of them would even desire that no transistors are used in the entire change (tubes baby). I see 100 percent where they are coming from. I have a decent stereo in the $2000 range (all picked up use). I had only a CD player and a couple hundred CD's. I picked up a used turntable for $150, and now, especially with jazz and classical, I only purchase the CD when I can't find it on LP.
Unless we are thinking of different things, you are comparing two different groups of people. These 'copy lists' I assume are groups of people who exchange bootlegged concerts. These are not commercial recordings. These are usually homemade recordings done by people who attended the concerts. The record company, artists, etc lose no money. Some bands, like Phish, even encourage taping.
15 megs upload a day!!!? I have a 500 MB/day limit and I chafe under it. I get sick of of having schedule downloading of a freebsd or rh iso so the half of it is done before midnight...
That's really sad. At my school, (U of Illinois) I live in private housing with about 80 other people (vaguely frattish, but coed). And we have a 2 Mbit external available, and, due to the fact that there is also an NCSA resident on campus, that is the only bottleneck. If I didn't live in my current situation, there are tons of apartments with ethernet connections available (mostly congregated around the engineering campus for some odd reason).
