Don Satz (got it right this time) rightly  pokes fun at the fact I
misspelled his hame.  Heck, I've been known to misspell my own name.
Recently I boked a short trip to the Bahamas over the Internet, and had
to convince the airline people and hoteliers in Freeport that I was the
person whose name appeared on the tickets. I had misspelled my own name
when buying my tickets.  Yhat's the risk we octogenarians take with our
diminished fculties and non-existent eyesight.  I write my letters with
the aid of a magnifying glass that hangs from my monitor, but some things
will get through despite almy efforts. C'est la vie.

>I don't know about giving out "intelligent choices", but they are

Indeed they are, Don.  I look forward every day to reading critiques and
comments such as yours which appear in this letter.  I use these comments
to evaluate what I already own, and to make "intelligent choices" in the
purchase of new or replacement CD"s.  I'm sure that is the service you
are performing for a great many subscribers.  My thanks to you and to
all the other contributors to this letter for your invaluable efforts.
