The scary stuff about Limewire
From time to time I'll browse the computers of those who are uploading from my computer. I figured they like my Robbie Williams selection so lets see what they have is interesting.

OH :wow: MY :wow: GOD

First item was a selection of Childrens Pre-School songs, Spelling program for kids and Childrens dictionary. Then next :scared: was a selection of Horse/Human escapades if you know what I mean.

I wonder if the kids know about this :scared:

3. Well this guy better hope the kids don't snooping around on his computer
Common sense is if you're going to download that stuff keep it on a computer separate from where your kids are playing.

I zap most of the stuff off I download after I convert it to Altrac3 format. I've decided to get a Sony player since 80% of the music I uploaded from my CDs in Sony's SonicStage and it uses Altrac3 format, not MP3. (Sony does play MP3). Altrac3 has the same quality but takes half the space which is why a 1gig Sony holds way more songs than even a 2gig Apple. Plus Sony is a blue company.

So after I download a couple of MP3 I convert them and then zap off the MP3.

2. I should do that more often
Most times, I don't care what they get. Because I only use it for the music
