Internet community starts over with a new company... (sigh), when will we ever learn? We cant trust the business wall street types to do anything right, they keep letting the air out of the tires of our revolutionary chic mobile. Maybe we need to start an Internet Stock Exchange where people that actually USE the internet can actually own part of it. Maybe the internet can actually acheive the long sought after grail of economic democracy so we can kick this fuedal system in its ass.

I've had good luck with Laser's Edge (lasercd.com) and buy.com too, though I still usually check Amazon first.

I shopped around. Amazon seems very expensive now. I don't even consider them anymore. bestbuy.com looked high, circuitcity.com was a little better, with free shipping. deepdiscountcd.com was about a buck cheaper than circuit city plus they also have free shipping. lasercd.com had much stuff I cannot find elsewhere. theendrecords.com remains the cheapest online place to buy CDs (to my knowledge). Prices are rarely over 12.00 and the shipping is free. I just placed orders with deep discount, lasercd, and the end. I'll probably get a few from metalages.com also.

The passenger, who had no prior contact with Yngwie, allegedly overheard Malmsteen making derogatory comments about homosexuals and decided to show her disapproval by emptying the contents of her glass on the hefty axeman. A member of Yngwie's touring entourage, who was traveling with Malmsteen at the time, had a tape recorder running and managed to catch Yngwie's reaction on tape immediately after the guitarist was "assaulted" by the offended passenger. ---- ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Dec 2002 12:00:25 -0800 (PST) From: Dan Temmesfeld To: email_address_removed Subject: don't open that (Document.write) email Message-ID: it may have been a virus. i don't know... something weird is going on... sorry.
