>Chalk one up for Jobs.
GASP!!!!...........gaack......sputter.....froth..........!!! !!!....this is
blasphemy man!!!!......Jobs is just furthering the cause of compressed
digital formats by doing this. I was hoping for more from him, like
proprietary teraflop HD's for the iPOD that cost $2000.00 so that Apple
could gouge their customers and at the same time, change the accepted
digital music paradign to SACD. Now WTF am I going to do with my 192kHz
converters?
