No willpower, combined with the thrill of new toys.
Installed DSL yesterday. Since then, I have found iTunes. First, I confined myself to downloading a few individual tracks that I've wanted for years, then to my detriment, I searched around. Found a Belle & Sebastian album from late 2003 that I didn't know about, and listened to enough snippage from the Franz Ferdinand to know that I'd probably like it. Bought. Downloaded. Burned onto CD for backup. Listening to FF CD now--I'm amazed at how good it sounds.
The things I'm capable of doing with a desktop amaze me.
None of this, of course, has anything to do with writing books.
