Hi Phil,

10 years ago this WOULDNT have mattered. I didnt get my first PC until 8
years ago, didnt own a car as I had a BT Van for work, and certainly
wouldnt
have been able to build or afford a Hard disc based music library for a
vehicle :-)

Seriously... thanks to all who replied. I feel I now have sufficient
information to get on with installing KASS (Keith's Automotive Sound
System).

Keith
