I figure with 200+ MHz or so of CPU and a decent recent sound card,
reproduction will be at least as good as a Walkman, and with 6 GB
disks down to $200 or less, space is available for the temp files,
and those can be gzip'd from when the disk is cut until the output
is verified (and be stored on Zip disks or whatever while they're
compressed).

They say that politics makes strange bedfellows.
Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.
