  • Apple! Why did you do this to us?

    It seems Apple has decided to kill Lala.com. They bought Lala last December, and this is what happens. I use Lala to stream some of my favorite tunes while I’m at the computer, some of which I don’t have on tape or CD anymore. Well, I guess that ends that. I understand that it may…

  • Almost ready for the road!!!
