Yeah. Most of the mp3-based players I've seen have been very
song-centric, which is rather useless for people like myself who like
albums. I also like Emacs, so I (naturally) wrote an Emacs-based mp3
jukebox to serenade me.

Your mileage *will* vary.

I think it was Jamie Zawinski who said that every application seeks to expand until it can read e-mail. I would add the corollary that the really bloated applications expand until they can browse HTML.

Psaw. That's nothing. Really, really bloated software expand until they can read Slashdot in a convenient manner.

This is not a test message to see whether Gnus can post to Slashdot as well as read it. I mean, posting a test message here would be just plain rude. I mean. Really.

Me neither. But it makes an excellent place to post this test message in. Test, test. Ignore me. Nobody here. Uh-huh.
