Journal Entry
Got a small package from
November 26th 2002 at 4:13 am
Got a small package from my grandfather. Em and I were curious. What’s in it? We weren’t expecting one. I opened it up when I got home a few minutes ago and found a card and 3 blank CDs and a note.
“Dear Toby,
Could you please find some mp3s and burn them onto these disks?”
Yep, my grandfather has entered the digital age and likes it. He particularly digs iTunes. He lost his entire collection of classical music and has been asking me if I could help him replace it, since he doesn’t have the money to go around re-buying $20 CDs (or higher, in the Caribbean).
I might dig around MP3.com for some of the legal downloads this time, but I’ll have to see what I can do over Thanksgiving Break sometime on the iMac.
