Dragon, remember, you do not have to outrun the Dragon......you just have to outrun the halfling.

Well now...I guess we can all go back to downloading music again without fear of lawsuits. :grin:

I still DL stuff, just not as much as before, and I don't touch Kazaa with a ten foot pole. It was sucking it up last time I used it anyway...my files got dropped alla time or just took days and days to finish.
