Oh heavens to mergatroid! Not on this list. Not when I *know* that the
'Smack has _thousands-upon-thousands_ of CDs!

(I think the bit that's still got me a little confused is that it's
obvious that you can copy one CD in *analog* format onto one cassette,
bypassing the computer entirely. That being said, it *must* be the case
[I think?] that there's _more_ info on a music CD than on a music
cassette... or is digital that much "less efficient" than analog? Right?
Otherwise, how can it be the case that you can put a whole friggin
encyclopedia [or at least a few volumes] on a CD-R -- you clearly couldn't
have put that on a 90-min. cassette [could you?]. So -- ignoring music
altogether -- how many K of data can you put on a 90 min. cassette tape?)

Sigh.

My brain seems to have a circuit-breaker-like mechanism that, when I get
confused and befuddled by the overwhelming monstrosities of my life,
causes a default to the simplest and most pleasant of thoughts. Like
Marshmallow Peeps. I *like* Marshmallow Peeps.
