So I'm a lot old fashion I like to be able to walk into a record/CD/Tape store and get what I'm looking for right ther on what is now called hard copy, but for the most part I can't do that. I have to order it on-line wait another 3 to 5 day because of shipping or pay a buttt load more for a something I wanted that day. A Record store or as it's know now really and eletroinic store, because they don't carry music on hard copy anymore let alone a movie on DVD or Blu-ray.. and yeas I have seen music gone from record to 8 track to tape to cd and to digital and a mater of fact I have I tune and I do use it. I like the MD player when it first came out but Sony did a great job of killing it so the I-pod took off. Any way Yes I have I tune and I have a huge file as a matter of fact I have everything on external drive a 500 for pictures a 1T for music and some movies and shows, Which is almost full and a 2T which is now looking all the new stuff all in all the file has to be over 1.2T in data which sucks when I either get a new computer or my computer crash's take over a week to put it back together and that's doing ti the fast way. Now with the diggy world the CD marked has disappeared from the store in just the last 10 years I have watch as one of the largest CD departments in a store's change gone from 5 rows at leys' just say 24 to 32 feet long down to 2 rows about 12 feet long so more then half of the music is gone and you have to order anything you want on-line their web site and wait 3 to 5 day instead of having it in your hands unless you want the diggy copy off of I-tune or amazon or any of those web sites. Now for the most part that Ok and find I mean I get a lot of music that way but when it comes to wanting something spechil and in my hand that day for get it. Take the up coming Les Miserable soundtrack, up till now all you have been able to get are the highlights and you sure as hell couldn't find it in stores, now the whole show will becoming on two disc as I knew it would it was just a matter of when. Much like Phantom. for a while all you could get was the highlights for the movie until just before the movie was released on DVD then you could get the full show. then you find out that Gerard Butler the guy who plays King Leonidas sing/plays the phantom so now you have to picture that in your head but if you reall want to laugh try and picture Stoic the vast singing Phantom, kind of funny. Now back to the diggy world and it taking out the CD market in store, because you can't find shit in stores any more you have to go one line for everythign which suck because sometime you think oh I would like to see that and run out to get it at the store and they don't have it because ther DVD section is now a small 36 foot wall that holds everything that they have but they can get you a new 70" TV that hooks up to the internet so you can orded the Movie you came in for just remember you have to pay shipping and handling as well as tax for those states that have tax's like us. I am getting tired of not being able to find what I want in store these days you got order everything on line and I have never been a big fan of ordering things on-line unless I really have to. Hell I'll go to a store and have the sales clerk order something for me and they'll have it shipped to my house, but that is so I can talk to someone and let them know that a product is out there. Hell I have come across so many stupied people that work in either and eletronics store or other customer service area that it isn't funny. Helll I was in a store the other day looking for the DARK KNIGHT RETURNS part 1 and the clerk went dark knight raise is over here I said no dark knight returns part 1 it an animated film complete blank I said never mind. Was in the same store a few weeks later and asked another sales clerk if they had it and they had to think but it looked like they new what I was talking about and said No they don't get thing in like that but you can order it on their web site I think. I went shit ok..and then with out thinking a few days later this tell you how much I was wanted the bloody thing I asked the asst department manager if they had it and then Said " wait never mind I just realized where I was" and walked out. later that day I went up to a used book store and bought a copy for half of what it was selling on the net.. in a lot of ways Shawn Fanning the guy who created Napster really screwed the the CD and in some case the DVD industry and everyone else in the world who like to have hard copies in you hands that day. Now I see the flip side to it well at midnight you can down load it from were ever you get your music and burn it to a CD ot transfer it to what ever you list to it on or both and be set to go, but I still think there is something to going out to a store looking for what you want talking to someone and paying for it all in person and you have a hard copy in your hands that isn't just a blank white or red or blue or pink or black or purple cd laying in a case some where. you have what the artiest wanted you to have at what could be and in most cases that same price if you add in the cost of burning the music to CD you add anywhere from 10 to 25 cents to you bill if you go out and by it yeah you use gas in you car which could be more but you get the interaction you have a hard copy that you can now rip into your I-tunes and if you lose everything you have the music on CD to play in your car which you did on your way home from the store after what you hope is a good interaction with another human instead of the cold non interaction for the net...
But what the helll do I know I old and crazy
