What's your profession? Age?

Mezmo, with the salaries and bonuses we've been paying you young whippersnappers, I can't believe you are a poor stepchild :>)!! I'd think your main problem would be having any time to enjoy your system, given your profession.

Ha! Rcprince, I cannot in good faith deny the wisdom of your words -- on all counts. Though, I have to admit, I can still only imagine approaching a system that clocks in around the digits posted by many of the audiogon illuminati around these parts. But, (at the risk of repeating myself and with the appropriatly resigned twinge of quasi-self-deprication) there's still time... Cheers, Mezmo

i am a 54 yo physician assistant/home health care agency owner who also has a surgical assistant business.

I'm 39 and a IT professional, work on Nortel DMS switches running DA and ACD in a call centers. Also do some networking and VB programming if needed.

I have about 20k+ in my system, about 2000 CD's and a couple hundred albums.

I'm 25 and an underwriter for a title insurance company. I have quite a modest system at somewhere around $5k retail and much less used. Luckily, I spend what little I can afford to upgrade as much as possible. I'm only a few short weeks away from that new record brush.
