You select how the remote system should assess your system capabilities, and you also select what kind of remote content you want to see and in what fashion locally. It would be very fast as the useless content would get no further than the "portal" and it would get there at high speed. Someone would have to make money off a system like this to make it a reality, but I believe that more than us dinosaurs would use it. <G> - Clarence Verge - Back to using Arachne V1.62 ....
