When I started up LimeWire today, I got a message saying there was a new version available. I clicked on "upgrade" and was taken to a page where I could get the regular version for free, or the pro version for a one-time payment of $18.88.

I'm not one to settle for anything less than the best, so I did what any sensible, semi-computer-literate person would do - I used LimeWire to find a copy of the new pro version. It's still not as good as the golden days of Audiogalaxy (sigh ... my first p2p love), but it works.

I used the money I saved to buy copies of Heaven and Hell and The Juliet Letters. So it all evens out, right?

I just remembered I have quartet practice first thing in the morning. I'm not even tired. Sheesh.
