Well I went on limewire and searched Shenandoah (it's the next song I'm learning in my guitar book) and downloaded the first result. All the others were by the band Shenandoah, and I didn't want that.

So I downloaded the 3mb file, and when I opened it, it brought me to a website that didn't load properly. It then automatically started downloading something, but I hit cancel after it finished.

I'm doing a virus scan right now... do you guys think I might have a virus?

if the file you downloaded was with a license, when you try to open it it will bring you to the site to buy it. If I remember correctly. But I don't download music with a license icon beside them anymore so I don't know.

It didn't have a license.
Oh well, if my virus scan doesn't pick anything up, I should be fine.

I didn't think there still were idiots downloading 3MB .exes with song names from LimeWire...

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}
