[QUOTE=Finagle] Anyone else spending money at iTunes after reading threads like these? [/QUOTE] Well, the reason why I started the thread is that today is my birfday and my hubby, knowing how much I love oldie Top 40, bought me 2 box sets-- one for the '70s and one for the '80s (he obviously doesn’t love me enough to get on for the '60s). Which sorta answers why I didn’t see **54fighting** s other post. You get blind as you get older. ---
