Sorry, but the thinking is dangerous in my view. The fact is that the consumer must at some point pay for the larger capacity servers. And while it does make some assumptions about devices comming, there are some assumptions that should be allowed. To expect ever growing servers to respond to your lack of cooperation is unrealistic. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net One of the most overlooked advantages to computers is...
