Do you have any ideas how I many times I read that last sentence trying 
to parse it?  And failing?  Record?  Record for what?  Staying on a 
desert island?  Staying off of one?  Swimming to it?  Something 
Sinfeldian?  WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

Finally I gave up and kept reading, and the "Monkees Greatest Hits" 
answered the question.  Oh, "record," as in, vinyl platter...  Good god, 
you couldn't have said "album" and saved 15 minutes of my life?!?

Later,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
