The 'Net--or, alternately, ISPs--will never fail for any appreciable period of time because the safeguards are so strong that such an eventuality is unthinkable.
Which is why, he says, tongue planted firmly in cheek, this old fogey who once served time as a computing administrator still relies on purchased hi-rez downloads rather than streaming services for his not-already-in-his-collection listening. And backs them up immediately upon their arrival. Of course, if the power grid itself gets hacked... Please pardon the snarkiness. I really am an old fogey. Jim

At 65, I resemble that remark. I'll likely purchase some Hi rez downloads but really would like to see lossless streaming simply for the convenience . |

You're still very much a youngster.
If and when hi-rez streaming becomes a substantial-catalog reality, I may give it a shot.
