And who would have fingers big enough to operate that IPOD? Then there's the computer needed to load the music. It just keeps getting more confusing.

No way. Jukeboxes are still out there, but they're not your father's jukebox. For the last few years, jukeboxes have had internet access and for a dollar (or whatever), you can download and play almost any song. Some songs are still hosted on the machine, but those are mostly tired, IMO. Of course, many establishments still have the CD jukeboxes, but they'll learn.

There is one cluttering up my garage, belonging to my younger son who has lived in France for the last fifteen years. One of these days he is going to find someone to transport it to him.
