For clones of WinAmp for Linux, there's qmmp (which I use) and I believe some distros still have an xmms package (xmms2 is a bit of a different beast). xmms hasn't seen an update in a long time but like old versions of WinAmp it still works. Both of them have some support for classic WinAmp skins. Neither one supports the full feature sets of WinAmp such as the media library or video playback, so it depends on what parts of WinAmp you're looking for.

WinAmp also runs under wine and basic stuff works, but last time I tried it I ran into issues with some of the plugins and the basic stuff is covered by qmmp so other than nostalgia reasons I didn't really see much point in running WinAmp under Wine.

Earlier this year I needed a SSD for a PC I was going to use as a router. The smallest drive Microcenter had was 256 GB, which was massive overkill. It was also priced at $19, so I was like whatever and bought it.

With the massive increases in price for flash memory, maybe we'll start seeing smaller drives again.

If I remember right the first couple of books were originally published as a series of short stories in a sci-fi magazine and sometime later were compiled into novels. That's why the books seem a bit disjointed where they'll suddenly just jump ahead in time to some new setting.
