THE COMMENTARY
Howdy to all from humidity central. Thank god for heavy duty AC.
Recently I was out to lunch with some NYC label types and we were talking about online music and digital delivery. I made the comment that all of the friends and family that I am talking with are at wits end with viruses and spy ware. I commented that people are either giving up on even having a home computer or are trying to figure out how to buy a new one. Well, they all gave me a blank stare and said they had not heard of any problems that drastic. I figured that it was just because these guys only deal with computers that are lorded over by a corporate tech department and they admitted that might be true.
When I got home, I asked the dude that works on our CIMS machines if they are noticing the phenom and he said that they had created a new division just to make house calls to rescue computers. In our own house, we spent $250 over several months with nerds making visits to clean out all of the crap that was slowing our computer to an absolute crawl. We got so frustrated that we bought Elaine a new Mac back in December. After six months, not ONE single issue with viruses or spy ware at all. What a dream machine.
So, it was with great interest that I read the article in Sunday’s New York Times titled "Corrupted PC’s Find New Home in the Dumpster"
(
www.nytimes.com/2005/07/17/technology/17spy.html
). This article really nailed the problem that most of America is now having with their home systems.

The reason I even bring all of this up is that as we race to find ways for people to consume music digitally, we have to be careful to face the reality that there are very fundamental problems with Microsoft machines. Granted, there are plenty of early adopters who are also nerds who know what to do to protect themselves. Well, most folks just don’t have the time or the aptitude to get that done.
Digital devils will plague our industry. When people start losing huge catalogs of purchased digital music without backups, we will hear about it and should have plans on what to do. For now, CDs and vinyl are still looking pretty damn good to me.
