Click for a bigger (much bigger) view.Now, breathes there a soul who can look at this and not remember Lionel Hampton's great old song "Midnight Sun" -- sung, of course, by June Christy, who absolutely owned it. I uploaded that version to box.net and I was going to include a link here that would allow you to listen to it, but I can't figure out how, which really surprises me because posting photos and movies on the blog is very easy.
I decided to do a work-around; I would make a movie -- the video would be a jpeg of the album cover, and the song would be the audio. Unfortunately, my movie software can't handle mpeg-4 audio files, which is the format the song is in, so I had to convert it to mpeg-3. Except I couldn't do that because iTunes apparently put some kind of lock on the file, and my converter can't break it. Long story, huh? Anyway, if you're interested, here's the link to the file at box.net. (I think you might need to play it in iTunes on realPlayer; I don't think Windows Media Player can handle it.)
You're welcome.
But what about that buried lede? If I (you) want to send a large file to someone -- a file too big to attach to an e-mail, for example -- I (you) can upload it to box.net and let the intended recipient download it. If a file is less than 10 megabytes, the service is free; for bigger files, it costs $8 a month.
Update: box.net isn't the only place to offer free online storage. For example, I just found ADrive, which accepts files as big as 2 Gigabytes!
