   Wow! 56,6000 rekerds! Buy! THAT'S a shitload of records! Hope you NEVER 
have to move!?On one of my moves long ago I was able to stuff my collection 
in a 1954 International Skool bus, seats removed!You need a CN freight 
train!But with todaze technology they SAY you could put them on one I-Pod, 
or some drevice like that? IF you start this week, playing EVERY one, maybe 
yur grandkids could finish up the recording session?Well, not so bad; 
117.91666 days;24/7 recording, 3 min EACH, allowing a bit of time to change 
record and needle<G>?JUST ran the numbers on my cheezy, Chinezy, 
calculater!Ya would be done by Canada's Independence day, or whatever thay 
call it up there?July, Something?

   Begin the Begine!
