BITMAPS 90: Licensed Music Changed the Tune

By TGRStaff, on August 18th, 2009%

  The weather that November night wasn’t prohibitively cold – one of the few benefits to living in Texas. For the curious, the others are Tex-Mex and inordinately large belt buckles.

I heard a story recently that reminded me that behavior is truly relative. Several friends were just hanging out, all playing games on a separate computers and TVs.
