Napster has its uses. It's great for downloading music from bands never
heard of before. Pegasi 51 is an example. I bet their CD sales have improved
since!
And it wont stop me from buying HW and related CD's once they're released.
I have been collecting their albums/cd's since 1976 and having mp3's just
wouldn't feel right. :-)
Although I must admit I have been trying to download some of Robert Calvert
stuff. Gremlins 1 and 2 for example.

Cheers
Bill
