	An interesting side note about 45's and spindle size...

	I used to work at a radio station, and when record
	companies sent us their new singles, some of them would send
	7" records (the size of a commercial 45) that would play
	at 33 1/3 RPM, and others would send 7" records that would
	play at 45 RPM but had a thin-style (normal for 33 1/3)
	spindle hole.

	I guess they wanted to prevent us from putting the extra
	copies into a juke box, which would be unable to cope with the 
	abnormal speed/spindle size combination.
