old story ( or soon to be): company starts up, gets the support of the
internet community by paying attention to them, gets bought by big
profiteers, employees get fired, prices go up, they milk the cash cow til it
turns inside out and they make off with the bones. 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.

Did I really quote half the jam in my last message? Sigh...
Sorry about that.
I've had good luck with Laser's Edge (lasercd.com) and buy.com too,
though I still usually check Amazon first.

I just made 3 major purchases. 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.

I used to visit a website that would compare CD/DVD prices with multiple web
sites to find the best price, but I've lost that URL..
Would anyone else happen to have it ?

YNGWIE MALMSTEEN Threatens To Kill
Airline Passenger - Dec. 9, 2002
YNGWIE MALMSTEEN threatened to kill a
fellow passenger on a flight to Tokyo,
Japan after the woman poured a glassful
of water on the guitarist.
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.

Doesn't Half.com have something like that?
