I was curious enough to read the contents of this URL, (about the U.N. about to meet to do something or another with "the information society"): http://www.itu.int/wsis Site barely moves. We have good bandwidth and its 400 bit/S, says my browser. So, for fun, I tried: http://www.alpo.com/ Which loads instantly. The make dog food. Working assumption: When the self annointed intelligentsia about to make all these unrequested experiments with Internet can achieve the real world performance of a dog food company, they will have made "progress". Do you think there is going to be even *one* delegate, even *one*, who decides they should just leave things alone? Regards, Dan
