    Thanks Paul. $10 a piece ain't terrible, but it sure ain't cheap. Why not
    just dub stuff onto minidisc or buy one of those fancy new CD "turntables"
    and burn CDs? Both of those ideas are waaaay cheaper.

    Well, the UK pricing I'd heard was to be 4000 pounds for the machine, and
    25 pounds for a three pack of vinyl, so you're probably looking at 10
    dollars a slice of wax. I suppose you'd better be pretty sure you really
    *need* that track on vinyl before you press it!
