Aw, c'mon Carl, show a little moxie.  You just have to sign up for a  
little over 140 Gmail accounts and then fire off a little under 42,000  
e-mails to archive your terabyte of music.

Sheesh, kids today, don't know they're born.  Why, when I were a lad  
we had to send e-mails by rearranging wires on a plugboard and  
flicking switches for each character...
