stop bitching! like most other things in
life, this stuff is a privilege, not a right.
i can't believe that any of you people that
are writing from schools don't have high
speed access. and maybe zip drives?

either way, if it wasn't there in the first
place you wouldn't have the chance to hear
it at all. find something to do besides staring
at your monitor for four hours and come back
when it's done. download at night. there's lots
of ways to make it work.
