I think it all depends on your "case logic" Skip. Jon Abbey said in an
interview this week that he owns somewhere in the neighborhood of 6000 CDs.
I would need a secretary to manage that volume--not to mention a few
categories.

Oh now, now. Some of us happily don't know what we're missing. Ray's
always in the background when I try to muster some endurance for a mandated
karaoke session. Besides, I can always play the "my nostalgia is hipper
than thou" with my Sidney Bechet and Django Reinhardt CDs. Don't have any
of those? God have mercy on you.
