1st stage loader for IMSAI - need ascii to binary

[Andrew Burton]

As a final note, streaming video/music is also used in a bid to stop theft and illegal copying of the media. Though there is software out there that enables you to download the streamed file and save it on your computer.

Also, I am (like most of us here) old enough to remember SW/MW/LW/FM radio's. Kinda fun being able to listen to european radio stations, but finding them (and getting the "white noise" to a minimum) was tricky.

If you're streaming, the buffer is usually just enough to filter out 
network timing issues, not downloading the entire content so that you 
can play/rewind/fast forward/etc.  Like I said, like listening to a 
radio station (perhaps I should add "on an old AM/FM radio":).
