...same age - I am some months older - and we both had our first heart attacks in our mid-thirties. Over the years, we have been similarly inconvenienced by heart attacks. The elephant has stepped on his chest four times, and on mine, twice. He has had one multiple bypass operation, I have had two of them. We have both had angioplasties, with stents.

Unfortunately, it seems that the Napster ruling--by placing impossible demands on online distributors--may help prevent these new channels from emerging...
