But it is interesting that since there is this new technology. Which at least let's groups of musicians share thier works online. If they can somehow bypass the big corporations. Since you mentioned software. It is interesting that the fortune came up with some software related saying. It could of been used for the philosophy discussion earlier.The differences of mind and body. Jim ------------- Kevin L. Brown wrote: > How does it not make sense?

If we travel together we will become famous and earn vast sums of money." And so the pair set forth together, thinking to conquer the world. Presently, they met Firmware, who was dressed in tattered rags, and hobbled along propped on a thorny stick. Firmware said to them: "The Tao lies beyond Yin and Yang. It is silent and still as a pool of water. It does not seek fame, therefore nobody knows its presence. It does not seeks fortune, for it is complete within itself. It exists beyond space and time." Software and Hardware, ashamed, returned to their homes. -- Geoffrey James, "The Tao of Programming" To unsubscribe or change your preferences for the Creed-Discuss list, visit: http://www.winduplist.com/ls/discuss/form.asp
