I live in the sticks with access to dial up, never got into the tape trading scene and so far have not started downloading. I am not only technologically challenged, but also a Luddite. The Dead are , however, my first love so I buy all official product thru to 73 when I lost interest, and of course I have had my share of boots, in the past on vinyl and then cd. In time I will however get the official down loads. And much as I do love the Dead, I have also a fair bit of other music to listen to! Plus , I dont want to get divorced, as I said in a very early posting to this thread, wifey wonders how many Lovelights a man needs!
