Hmph. The Dead in prime time (New Years, a loooong show) have barely hit $25. A decent opera ticket in Denver is >= $50. $15 is closer. If you're gonna figure cost, figure transportation too (amortizing the cost of the car just as you amortize the cost of a cartridge). You should also figure in insurance and/or theft probability for the ultra-hi-end audio system--and for the car parked in the nasty high crime district in the center of the city that you have to go to for substantial live music. -- Dick Dunn {hao,ucbvax,allegra}!nbires!rcd (303)444-5710 x3086 ...If you plant ice, you're gonna harvest wind.
