Ye. Gods.  Should it be able to send postcards with music jingles too?
 And why is only FTP on the list?  Why not any of the other thirty
transfer methods, some of which are actually secure (unlike FTP, which
broadcasts your password to anyone running tcpdump)?  Maybe we should
just build in a web browser too!  It's so annoying to have to go open
IE all the time while editing music!

[CD extraction!?  CD EXTRACTION!? What's wrong with using one of the
well established high quality tools that already does this? ARGH!
Paging Captain E. J. Smith...]

Doesn't it make a litle more sense to just recommend an application
that already does this, and does it better, for people who don't
already have one?
