There is another reason for the decline in CD sales that very rarely gets a mention.
In my local town, the 'record stores' are as busy with people as they ever were in my days of hanging around such places. The difference? In my day it was albums (and singles) only. Nowadays it is CDs (and CD singles) PLUS DVDs, videos, Games, mobile phones, merchandise yada yada, yada.
There is only so much money to go around amd the kids just aint spending as much on music.
Misguided and frustrated musician doesn't get it..

Here is a summary.
Guy gets pissed because ebay set up to auto-remove auctions of CD-Rs for obvious reasons. Guy trying to sell hasn't the wit to change his description to plain CD.
There is a third way for this software (or tools like it) to become commonplace and that is *because patients demand it*. As a father, I would get mighty pissed if one of my daughters had an illness that was being treated casually. If I knew this tool was available, I would want to use it to examine all the options.
Sensible, forward thinking doctors will advertise the fact they have this system in place. Patients will come. As the article points out (as in most data based apps) the first 20 mins is the painful time; it gets quicker after that.
There has been no official indications on 802.11a. in the UK, though the lobbying is hoping to cover both varieties - as well as any variants.
802.11b is currently open for non-commercial use but there is no licence available at any cost for commercial use. The word is that in June 802.11b becomes free-for-all with no licence needed.
Will be interesting to see how the EU handle this don't you think? Bit unfair if we in the UK can get a licence for nothing and you in Belgium have to pay.
To clarify further, we poor Europeans are not all the same - no matter how it may appear to US citizens.
Frankske appears to be posting from Belgium, and I cannot speak for there, but April 24th is the big day in the UK for 802.11. Then, the Radio Authority, who control the spectrum are expected to announce that their intention is to free up this space for commercial use. At the moment, non-commercial use is allowed but don't try and take any money.

Move along. Nothing here.
You want ketchup for those shorts?
Ideally, what the ratios are today and what they are likely to get to (given Moores law or whatever applies).
Strikes me great application in flying (partic. GA) rather than driving if right ratios.
